AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III

I have been using an OC9/II for years.  (I tried a Lyra Clavis da Capo with "mixed" results.)  I'm interested in opinions of those who have owned or listened seriously to both comparing the two.  Is there a difference?  If so, what characteristics differentiate the two?  Is one better than the other?  Is  there any reason to spend the extra on an OC9/III?

The cart will be mounted in a JMW-12 arm on a VPI Aries (Extended) running into a Herron VTPH-2a phono stage.

I prefer OC9/II to Lyra. 

Between the II and III, III is overall better and cleaner sounding. But it has twice the compliance. I like the sound of higher compliance cartridges.

What OP should really get is the ART9.
