Audio Technica AT7V

[eldarvanyar]

Hi,
I have a Shure SM95 ED as well as a SM97xe and I am thinking about ordering an Audio Technica AT7V from LP Gear for my Technics SL1200 MK2 with original tone arm.
I have been reading good things about the AT7V which someone suggested would be a better buy than a AT120ET.
I will be ordering a KAB tone arm damper as well.

(Any experience of LP Gear and import duty?)

Would this work and be a suitable upgrade or sideways step?

Thanks

Its a cart I've been looking at for a while, LP Gear also had a 150 variant at a good price.

Tax has been hit n miss through friends experience, still cheaper than UK though.
