yeah the AT cart will definitely be better than the Stanton for digitizing vinyl - you made the right choice. No slight on the 500AL - it's a workhorse with a great price; perfect for budget DJ use. I first learned to scratch on 500ALs; they can take the roughhousing and they can cut through dust and still sound decent. But the AT makes more sense from a sound quality perspective if you're digitizing music and not really scratching or mixing.
Since you have the 500AL already installed on it you can compare them yourself side by side and see which you like better.
