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 am a regular reader of information made available by an individual based in Germany who has a vast experience of using MC Cartridges. Koetsu, Urushi, SL, Mutec, Hana as well as many other types, all having undergone demonstrations in various Head Shell materials and regularly used in A/B comparisons on a Multi-arm Techdas TT.
This person has commenced using the Brand SKYANALOG and has been working up through the range, the reports are very favorable for these MC's and comparisons to High End Cart's are showing the SKYANALOG as a worthwhile consideration, especially when the price is quite different.
It could be worthwhile having a look into one of the Higher Up the range Models to see if there is an appeal to your needs.

Once in while a great opportunity is presented for an acquisition to be purchased at a price that is not the usual one seen.
When an individual gets their chance and follows through with it to be realised, it would be a kinder approach to applaud them on their good luck.
