@PeterJersey - ha - this feels like the quintessential debate - Mac vs PC, Modern vs Classical, mountain biker vs Road biker, Black & White vs Color Photography, Digital vs Analog - the list goes on! As I get older it always is a matter of balance, between easy vs nuanced. Neither is better - simply priorities, and I (like others) have moved through these both spectrums in life.
To answer your question, a bit more tangentially, I think the real magic might be what lies in between the Cartridge and the Amp/Preamp : the Phono Stage!
I have used 5 phono stages, first 4 were MMs
3 Regas - Brio, Mira 3 (Elys cartridge), Aria with an Exact
SN3 phono with the same Exact
And my final one - a Naim Superline+Supercap DR (with a HanaML - a MC cartridge). As someone wisely said in this forum - thou shalt have to pull these out of my dying hands 
.
I can confidently say, to my ears, an album Streaming (NDX2) vs CD (CDX2) vs Vinyl, the SL+SCDR - pulls music so effortlessly, has so much musicality, throw-in-the-kitchen-sink audio terminology! 
.
And I am talking about a 23 yr old P3 (@Jaybar -jealous of your P10), sporting a virgin Hana ML (10 hrs in).
Am I driving a vintage DB5 Austin Martin? Maybe I am
