Anyone have a DJ turntable cartridge recommendation?

So I'm doing a weekly radio show, and there are two decent Technics there, but the cartridges are run of the mill Gemini with low output, and I don't want to trust the needles from week to week.

I'm looking for something I can swap out in a hurry - in other words, a cartridge and needle mounted on a Technics headshell or the equivalent.

I brought in my old Shure Whitelabels and the levels were better, but those things are so damn heavy I really don't want to play my good records with them (even after adjusting the tonearm weight). Plus the sound was a little shrill to my ears.

Anyone use the Shure m44-7 cartridge?
 
For Djing I've been using M44-7's for 30 years. Love 'em. It's all you need and cheap too;)
