Usually has visitors

Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the following two sentences:

(A) Tom rarely goes out, but he often has visitors.

(B) Tom rarely goes out, but he usually has visitors.

Here, I'm trying to write a sentence which means "Tom almost never goes out, but there are many occasions where he has a visitor." Are both (A) and (B) natural? I'm particularly interested in how (B) sounds to your ear. Can we use (B) instead of (A) in a case like this?

I am wondering if but is suitable here. I would say this: Tom rarely goes out;he often has visitors. If a conjunction is required I would for or because Tom rarely goes out, for he often has visitors.
