ADC XLM Mk2 question

Hi all, I've been enjoying a recent find, an ADC XLM Mk.2 phono cartridge. I have a question, the needle says K8, however I saw on a website that was offering a replacement stylus for the XLM Mk. 2 for $144, is the K8 a designation for a cheaper replacement stylus?

The ADC XLM MKII Improved is one of the best among several mid-low priced MM cartridges I have owned:
Clearaudio Aurum Classic Wood
Grado Prestige Gold
Audio Technica AT125LC
Shure M97xE

I also bought a new ADC cartridge from LP Gear and it is a real bargain. Some other places list the stylus alone at over $150.

I wonder how other owners regard this ADC cartridge.
