There's already been a push to make MCs reach MM levels. But, If lower-output (and inductance) MM's were to become popular we could eliminate a lot of the problems they've had historically; especially now that quiet, high-gain amps are relatively common.

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
SoundSmith and Grado make low output MM/MI cartridges with very low moving mass and very good stylus choices. These cartridges make the choice between LOMC, LOMM and LOMI difficult.
All of these require the extra amplification stage that all types of low output cartridges require, and I believe all of them have fixed stylus assemblies. That makes choosing between them difficult.
In the end you have to listen to each cartridge, paired with the same tonearm and phono preamp you will be using, if possible. The issue of whether they are moving coil, moving magnet or moving iron (induced) cartridges is not an issue. How they sound is.
