Did you end up not liking the other cart you just got?
In any case, I strongly agree with the use of a transformer instead of active electronics for MC step-up. A good active step-up will add some noise, whereas a transformer is literally noiseless. As in zero, none. It's the right tool for this location in the signal path.
I've got a couple Jensens I built into a nice RF-tight box a long time ago, it is not only completely silent but I've measured it and it's superb in all ways.
Here is the box series I used: https://www.budind.com/series/nema-...rnal_dimensions_group=0&internal_dimensions=0
Have fun!
