Amethyst versus Nagaoka MP-150/MP-200
Just a note here. A detailed cartridge is not bright or fatiguing. That is a system issue. Shying away from them is covering up another problem.

@three_paws noromance , do you find the AT bright/fatiguing at all?Nope. I have the 750 on a 401. However, give it about 20 hours. It's not in the same league as my Deccas but it is fine with good frequency response and detail.

What spot does it not hit?Nags are great but may lack top end sparkle—if that's what you're missing. If so, Audio Technica VM750SH or 760SLC will do the job.

Coronavirus notwithstanding, ask Keith over with his amp for a listen. Maybe you might not like it. Then that’s put to bed. Or maybe you must have it and can work a deal or decide it’s a better investment to put down the $2k and the rest on a card... 
Kef LS50
They are good. 300w amp. Blown tweeter. You like it loud? Maybe the LS50 is not suitable?  
At91r vs at95e on at lp3
Why not just try it? The elliptical 95 may sound brighter and less forgiving of any harshness in the music. But you might like the extra kick.
