I think you are under a misconception about mega-buck cartridges. They perform no better than ordinary cartridges -- only differently -- and they cost a whole lot more. The turntable and tonearm you now own will work just fine with any number of mega-buck cartridges. The only problem is that you may find your Ortofon 2M Blue provides more satisfaction than any mega-buck cartridge you can find. That's what happened to me and that's why I gave up on mega-buck cartridges. It's not that they don't sound good, it's just that they often don't sound any better than more reasonably priced cartridges.
Good luck,
