Any experience with Sound Smith repairing stylus on non-Sound Smith cartridges?

@whart 

How did the stylus change affect the sound quality?
Thanks.

Thanks for the input.  I inquired at the shop that I bought the Linn cartridge from, and they seemed to indicate that Linn does not re-tip or repair cartridges. . . I put in an inquiry to Linn factory, but haven't received a response yet.  I'm not concerned about re-sale value, as it's *only* a $2,000 cartridge, and I was planning on a significant upgrade in table and cartridge once I wear this cartridge out, which I may have just done prematurely. . .

The Linn Krystal has a aluminum tube cantilever, with a vital fine line stylus (whatever that means).  It seems like aluminum would be the reasonable replacement option from Sound Smith:

Sound Smith recommended the Boron, because of "the stylus profile", and it's also the most expensive option

What do you think would match best with the Linn vital fine line stylus?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommended thread on stylus tips, etc.  That is an excellent discussion on parts and re-tipping cartridges, along with the usual banter amongst contributors.  For reference, here's the link: (I don't know why the copy/paste operation on Audiogon pastes the link in such a large area)
