The 103 is for low mass, the 301 is for higher mass. Did you try them both on the same tonearm? - if so, that's not a fair comparison, since only one would be of the correct type for your system.
the 103 is a much better carthridge than the 301. the 103 is really good value for money. I have used both b4 and is sticking to the 103. No question about it.
