To your point palasr - another consideration that has really worked in my system is my second Ortofon - a cadenza black. My first was a Jubliee which provided years of good playback.
The Cadenza Black mounted on my Vector 4 is as good or better SQ than the more than twice expensive Transfiguration Proteus which bit the dust after 500 hours and also went out of biz at the same time.
Not sure I will ever buy a 5+K cartridge again after spending the last year with CB - also not likely to go OOB.
