Another option would be a step-up transformer or head-amp.The ML No.28 is topnotch.

A programmable gain stage...?
After you menu=tioned the module...I remembered my dealer setting up an ML whilst we were drinking tea and chatting. The one that he had there, oldish unit, had a high and low gain stage and also had variable loading. He mentioned that some of the newer ones were all software driven and you just set it to what was required.Wonder if the manual is available online.
Better have a quick google ... would certainly save him a few pennies.
My Mark Levinson No.28 has an MC only phono stage. It does have variable loading and two phono gain settings, 58-dB and 64-dB, accessed by dip switches inside the enclosure.
But you are right John... they do high and low gain modules. So that would certainly be the cheapest way to go as you suggested. It would also cut out the aggrevation of another set of interconnects.
Knowing how good the ML stuff that I have heard is, I am sure that their module will be rather good.Will also save all that stress of making a 'blind buy' for a new stage that might upset your sound.
Enjoy.
