How long does a stylus last?

I'm thinking of buying a good cartridge; Koetsu or the like but I need to buy used to afford one.
How many hours on a cartridge is too many hours. Does this vary from brand to brand?

Thanks

I have had a Koetsu Black that I bought second-hand in 1986. I got 10 years use out of it before the stylus degraded.

I've just had it re-tipped by Benz Micro for €200 (the cantilever and suspension were fine).
