Hi Abe,
Low-output MC cartridges provide the greatest potential for achieving the best possible performance from vinyl because of their very low inductance. The high inductance of MM cartridges produces an electrical resonance that occurs within the audible frequency range thereby preventing them from ever achieving optimal performance. The reason that you rarely find expensive MM cartridges is because it is not worth putting money into a flawed design.
On the other hand, you need a good phono stage to get the most out of a low-output moving coil. When you have the correct equipment you should be able to easily hear the difference between MM and low-output MC. My advice would be to simply let your ears make up your mind. That's what I did 30-years ago and I reconfirmed my decision about 5-years ago. I prefer the sound of moving coils to moving magnets, and I know exactly why.
Best regards,
John Elison
