I have the Kiseki Blue NS and it's the best cartridge I own. Sound quality can't be touched by any of my other cartridges, however they are mostly in the $500 - $1000 range. Closest thing I have to compare it to is my Van Den Hul MC TWO, a HOMC cart that cost about the same as retail price for the Blue. The Blue is more detailed from top to bottom and has a somewhat lush sound that I really enjoy. No issues with build quality. I bought mine at a significant discount from a seller in Japan here on Audigon.
It might be helpful to know what you currently have so that others can give a point of reference. I imagine that compared to the carts I have the Purple might seem like nirvana, but to someone with a $10K cart it might be "meh".
