I have not had a chance to try any of the ZYX carts, but have tried a few Urushi variants. I have a TNT II with a Graham 1.5 and now use a Kiseki Purpleheart. They can be had for $3200 and is a fantastic cart. From the Kiseki website:

"I use the KISEKI Purple Heart N.S. in my own personal system on my Avenger Reference and have no urge to change cartridges. It sweeps you out of your seat and into the concert hall with power, grace, and air. I cannot recommend a cartridge higher than to say I use it when I just want to enjoy music."
