Benz Ebony L retip

I am looking to get my Benz retipped.  I also wish to keep the original boron cantilever, condition permitting.

I does not appear that Benz offers these services so I am down to van den Hul, Soundsmith, Expert Stylus (UK) and Northwest Analogue (also UK).  Any one have experience with these names and if so:
1) make and model of cart?
2) work done?
3) approximate time taken?
4) level of satisfaction and how close to the original cart sound was the retip.

Thanks

I've had Soundsmith work on many Benz cartridges over the years, all of which were ruby cantilevered. 3 Gliders, 1 Adcom, and 2 ACE’s. All superb and in the case of the ACE it turned it into a killer cartridge.

i also have a Ruby 3 that Andy at Cartridge Clinic retapped and retained the Baron cantilever and it is my prize cartridge.

You will be satisfied nicely with either and expect 2 to 3 months turn around.
