Nice move. You *will* notice a big difference. As long as the stylus is in 
decent condition yer in business. Note that the MC30 is a nice but older 
cart, so check the suspension on the canilever to see if it will track at 
rated force....see specs  below. The AT carts are known for suspension 
problems after 10 years or so.
