Grado carts

I was planning on getting a Reference Sonata1 for my new turntable

A friend has suggested a Gold1 with the 8mz stylus as a possible half price "95% of the Sonata" alternative.

I went through a web search and people's experiences and reviews seem to say it's a "giant killer" combo - though I have been burned in the past by following up on such claims - though in this case it sounds like the combination is much like a Sonata1 without the potting compound.

If I already had a grado cart, this would be a "no brainer" for me, but I am buying for the first time, so it really is $600 vs $320 "giant killer"

Any thoughts?
