AT150MLX versus the 2M Blue

I plan to purchase one or the other of these cartridges this afternoon. Yes, I know, short notice!!

Does anyone have any comments about either, or has anyone done A/Bs?

I'm replacing an AT440MLa; I have had a 150MLX (came premounted on an old table I bought used) and really enjoyed it, but it was old, dirty, etc. I did clean it.

I've never...NEVER owned an Ortofon, though I can't really say why. Before the AT440MLa I was using a Denon 110, and before that a Shelter 201. I don't want to go back to MC if I can get around it, which is why I've honed it down to the two I've mentioned above.

Thanks!

If you still have the old 150MLX, you could get a stylus replacement from lpgear.com for $179.95. Maybe that would help your decision.

Also, if you liked your AT 440MLa, you should REALLY like the 150MLX. Reviews I've read say the 150MLX with its aluminum body is more linear, detailed, and devoid of the plastic-y resonance of the 440.
