Chris,

Certainly worth checking. I did a search over on the Vinyl Asylum and whilst there was nothing specifically about the effective mass of the R200 - its also apparently a close cousin of the old Linn LVV. The view from past posts seemed to be that it was best suited to MMs. However one of the inmates did report it working well with a Dynavector DV10X4 high output MC (though I dunno about that cart - maybe higher compliance than your average MC I dunno)

Dunc,

If you want to try out one of the Ortofon MMs (at least to see if it sorts the sibilance problem), I've got a spare Ortofon 510 II (about equivalent to the Goldring 1006 in the Ortofon MM range) you can borrow. Its only got a couple of hours on it so good as new. I'd want it back once you'd bought a new one mind - I have plans for it. PM me if you are interested.
