Since the JD9 will drive any cart under the sun I'm looking at moving coils. I can get near dealer cost prices on any of Denon MC line. Any recommendations?
Man you lucky devil you!

Try the Denon 103R...really all of the Denons get good hype. But the
103R gets very good praise at under the $400 mark.

If you like automatic TT and you want to get a little more performance you should step up to Thorens - TD-295 MKIV



Its semi automatic, has a a few Pro-Ject parts on it and is a great performer. Many audio-files don't like it because of the Pro-Ject parts but if you want quality in a auto-matic of semi-automatic Dual or Thorens is where you gotta go. My vote goes to Thorens...they make some great tables in every price range.
