Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III"

Need some input about the sound quality differances of these two cartridges: I have a VPI Junior with an Audioquest PT-6 arm. I currently have the "original" BPS and never really liked it---highs were hardsounding and bass was weak, though soundstaging and imaging were good to very good. Trying to keep the purchase at $300 or less for a high output moving coil.

I have a VPI Jr. with AQ PT-6 and Dynavector 10x5 and enjoy it a great deal. Very musical, detailed, quiet, easy to listen to and a very good match with the VPI/AQ PT-6 combo. I can highly recommend the pairing. Sorry I cannot compare it to the Blue Point

I have listened to the Denon, a very nice cartridge, another to recommend. But I did put it up next to my Dynavector and it did not soundly beat the Dynavector. They didn't even get into a wrestling match, no angry words. I always wonder about this audio equipment that feels a need to become physically violent with other pieces of audio equipment. Can't they all just get along.

Though the Denon really sounded nice I felt the dynavector had more body, the turntables were different though so the comparison was not very reasonable.
