MM cartridge closest to sound and tracking of a Denon DL301MKII

I've been running a Denon DL301MKII now for a few months and I'm loving its sound. There's a certain rightness and musicality to it that's eluded me with my previous cartridges (Ortofon Super OM20, 2M Bronze/Black, AT150MLX, ATOC9MLII). Plus it seems to track better than any of them and is more forgiving of less than great vinyl.

Out of sheer curiosity and since I may at some point set up a second turntable (or move the Denon to a new turntable and pick up another cartridge for my old one), those of you who know the 301 (or 304), what MM cartridge out there would you say sounds and tracks closest to it?
