Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please

I ended up buying an Acoustic Signature Typhoon, with a 11" Kuzma 4Point. Now the question is which cartridge I get.
I have a Hana E and M in my current VPI and really like them, but I looking forward to test something else. I like detail without much in your face(?), soundstage and some hint of warmth. 

I saved $4K for a cartridge and I am getting 25% off on any cartridge I want, and do not need to spend the $4k.

I am open to other brands, except Sound Smith which I had in my Bergmann Galder and did not like at all.

My system for the Typhoon is composed of
Tannoy Kensington
Pathos Heritage, or Primaluna 300
Manley Labs Steelhead 
all powered with a PS powerplant.
Thank you

I have the Acoustic Signature Triple X initially with the Hana SL. Recently upped to the Red which is just stunning! If you like the Hana line you might consider it. Great table you have ;-)

I am using the 12" TA1000 arm on the Triple X

Switching back and forth between the AT-Art9xa , Hana SL and the Umami Red, there is no comparison. The Umami is stunning in its presentation and clarity of soundstage. 2X better? Possibly 3 or 4X.
I love the Hana's to begin with.
Don't see too many with AS tables.
Good Luck!

Haha I am not a Hana dealer but I am German/Polish. I find many things to like about German electronics, I own an Octave amp, RME Dac and the Triple X. My speakers though are US made Spatial M3 Sapphires which I absolutely love love! Are you in Germany or just visited there? My mother and grandparents lived in Munich and summered in Rotach/Tegernsee and have been many times but would love to visit w/Gunther and Andreas one day.
