Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?

Friends,
i sold my ART9 cartridge and now looking for an upgrade. I like Ortofon carts. I have been able to locate a low mileage A90 and a Per  windfeld cartridge that I could afford. I don't have a top quality tonearm though. Would you put an A90 on a tonearm like Jelco 750d ? Or would you spend additional $1000 on a better tonearm and get a less exotic cart like the windfeld ?

Used a MC Anna on a Jelco SA750D at a CES Show some years ago - this was a OK combination.  Turntable was a GrooveMaster DC (VPI Super Plater MAXON DC Motor with our own Motor Controller)     

The Jelco arm is unbeatable at the asking price - and Jelco makes arms for among others Ortofon, however perhaps a bit more "substantial" in build the their stock offerings.

Currently running a Ortofon MC Anna in a SME310 on a GrooveMaster Vintage Direct DP80 Professional - excellent combination too.  

Good Listening
