Cary slp-98p owners!

Dynavector xx2 mk2 loading sugestions
I don't want a new phono preamp just a sut nothing beets te preamp I have right now! I was thinking of bobs step up devices. 
Dynavector XX2 MKII? Your thoughts of it?
It's not the dealer who is selling it to me it's one of the salesmen who works there. Like I said he has some very high end gear and takes care of his stuff! I just can't  afford a new XX2 cartridge. So I thought this would be a good way to get in... 
Next step up from the Dynavector 20x2 for more bass?

I was leaning nore to they dynavector over the 2m black because I have never had or  tried a mc before. The music I listen to is jazz to Stevie ray and 80's classic rock,and getting more into  modern rap and hiphop/pop and a lot of techno music wi... 
Out of these two cartridges which would you choose?
I have been on vinyl engine and people have had better success with the 20x2 with rega then ortofon 2m black. Also my preamp owners manual said the cary slp-98 has enough gain for cartridges low as 1.4mv. Also with the 2m bronze I have to turn the...
