unless you have a functional problem with the arm, i would consider a cartridge change over an arm change on the axis. the japanese basik arm(made for linn) is quite good, and a change to something in the 4 to 5 hundred range may just be a sideways move....a really nice(and underrated) table/arm combo as it sits....the basik arm was a favorite with the ar crowd in the 80's too.
