I'm leaning towards a 2 mm mat just to keep things simple as I don't have the expertise to adjust things to compensate for a thicker mat (the Rega supplied mat is 2 mm).
Both the Origin Live and Herbie’s Way Excellent II are intriguing. I suspect I'll order both, try them on for size and keep the one I like better.

Good choice always trust your own ears. The VTA or vertical tracking angle is not that hard to do, but that said I'm not familiar with Rega TTs. All you are doing is setting the tonearm so that it sits level when playing a record. May I suggest youtube as on there there is are a lot of vary good videos on how to do it you may even find one for your particular TT.

Funny thing about any Rega TT - you don't have VTA adjustability per se. There are spacers available to assist in keeping things level though...

I can't think why Rega don't have VTA adjustment they must know people will wont to use different stylus. I say I can't think but one thing springs to mint are there own stylus the same sort of size and their trying to keep things in house or they offer spacers themselves. Spacers must make things harder, I like what I had to do and that was with just using allen key.

You are right that the Rega cartridges are shorter than most but they do sell spacers including that allows adjustment in 1mm increments.

One mm adjustments. Not good enough for fine tuning as I have had to do in the past but I suppose it's better than nothing and you can always buy a set of feeler gauges and make your own fine adjusters.
