Soundsmith has the SMMC4 for $200 which is comparable to the original B&O SMMC4 cartridge. The other purchase I would suggest is a new belt for the ttable. if it is the original it will be stretched out. The new cartridge will get you back into vinyl with the RX2. Later if you decide on a new table an adapter will allow you to use that cartridge on the new table. Turntable Basics can help you with a belt. I miss my RX2's automation and wish I had kept it.
I think you may want to ask the source yourself. Try sending an email to Peter at Soundsmith, and ask him what he thinks. There simply isn't a better company to consult with regarding B&O turntables, and I really love my cartridge from that company.
