If I was the one asking for the correct SUT, I will definitely evaluate what gain do I need first (with the linestage gain in play)and the range of the internal resistances of the carts I am going to use.
IMO, when you have the right match between the cart and the SUT, using the transformed impedance of the SUT only as the cart's load, the sound is much better than attenuating the signal or changing the load seen by the cart using resistors. In other words, not all cart will sound "best" at 36,145,and 580 ohm load (1:9, 1:18, and 1:36 for the Cinemag 3440A). Not to mention the maximum signal that your phono preamp can take before it saturates as it has a dramatic effect on dynamics and overall presentation.
My opinion only of course.
