Josie,
Not sure but this might be out your budget at present but it is a bargain IMO and it’s Compliance: • 10 µm/mN
Gwernaffield is selling a Soundsmith ZEPHR Mimc that is new, a great cartridge, and well worth buying

The AT MC cartridges always seem to work well even in arms that theory says are a mismatch. I believe that AT have an amount of cantilever damping in their cartridges that broadens their working range.
I would pick the AT OC9ML/II over the MkIII - MicroLine stylus profile delivers good results.
I have an OC9ML/II here, brand new, still sealed in box - £320 + post. Bought as a spare while my Kontrapunkt was being reworked.

Open to PM's too if you have any more info about them.

I'm gone.
I bet some kind of Denon 103 would sing very sweetly in that arm!

Shame, I think it would really do your Trio justice.
You might want to consider this it's highly recommended and from what I can see nothing against it at the price, https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/products/Pick-IT-DS2 and its Compliance Dynamic/Lateral: 14µm / 14mN
