Why don't you just stick on one of those Grado 8MZ stylus's from LP/Gear. You just may not want one of those expensive cartridges after hearing that upgrade! $100 and you will be amazed at the difference!

Where can I find a Benz lps cartridge for sale?
I don't think it is 'demand' that has prevented Benz from supplying the US market but more likely supply! They are able to sell everything they can produce. No need for a US market! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
