High end cartridge in low end TT: worth the buy?

[Squishman]

I like to play my records with the cover down to reduce dust accumulation. The only problem I had with the Dust Bug on the Project was that the "handle" touched my dust cover when it was down. I had to very carefully bend the handle down slightly to clear the cover. Not the greatest looking bit of kit but if the Doc says that it helps...

The back of my Dustbug hits my dustcover as it moves towards the label. I'd move it in a bit, but the suction cup failed, likely because of age. So I used double sided tape to fix the cup to the plinth. I could change the position a bit, but it's not a huge deal for me to play records with the dustcover up. My tone arm hits the top of my dustcover when the Q-Up lifts it too. This would not happen without the Q-Up of course as you'd have to lift the dustcover first to manually raise the tonearm. These are tools I still would not want to be without!
