Benz Ebony LP or Lyra Delos ?

For about the same money I am getting to buy a Lyra Delos and Benz Ebony LP (not LP-S) cartridge. I listen mostly to classic rock and Blues, so, tone, PRAT and dynamics are most important while soundstage accuracy and transparency can be compromised a little. Tonearm is a Basis Vector 4.

Lyra Delos is highly regarded in general while Benz LP was their top model before the LPS. Which of these would you suggest ?

BTW, I also have an offer on an Ortofon Cadenza Black for about the same money but not sure if it is suited for Rock and Blues.

Cmalak, your situation is quite contrary to the service I've received from my Benz dealer.
Are you sure you're dealing with an authorized Benz Micro dealer? Have you contacted the Benz Micro US distributor regarding your local dealer?

Pani, The Benz Ruby Z is essentially and LP-S with a different body. Using the Benz trade in I upgraded my Wood L to the S class Ruby Z and the improvement was substantial.
