Will Grace F9 Cart work with Rega RB250 tonearm?

Hi, all. I need your advice. I'm putting together an Origin Live OL1 (rega RB250) tonearm and a Lenco/Bogen L70, and I'm about to buy a Soundsmith OCL Ruby cantilever for a Grace F9 to use with the setup.

Before I risk spending $500 on the new Ruby needle, IS THE GRACE F9 A GOOD FIT FOR MY REGA ARM? Has anyone here tried them together?

Thanks, I appreciate any help anyone can give.

Scott

P.S.- I'm trying a Grace MM because my beloved Grados hum like mad on Lencos.

I have three Grace F9Es that Peter has retipped for me. I
have used them with excellent results on the RB250, RB300
and the RB600 arms on various tables throughout the years.
Along with many other arms and tables.

Most recently the cartridge was mounted on my fully tricked
out Rega P25 (RB600 arm). It was a fantastic combination.
I have since replaced it with an Audio Technica AT150MLX and
do like it better, but the F9E remains one of my favorite MM
cartridges.

IMHO, it should work and sound great.
