hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?

i read that the  original ART9 was DISCONTINUED.
there are two other options.

AT-ART9XI with Output Voltage 0.5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
and AT-ART9XA with 0.2 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
the lower output is a bit worry me.
any insights from members that tried both?
or there is still a way to get the ART9

Phono cartridges, speakers and amplifiers are not genre specific. 

How many times does Atmasphere need to chime in with this fact?

You will need around 65db gain in your phono stage to use the XA.

XA may have a subjective refined presentation compare to the XI.

Both are a solid choice. 

XA air core aligns with more exotic(expensive)low output cartridges.

There isn't a compelling reason to look for a NOS ART9 -UNLESS you can get it for considerably less
