Koetsu Urushi Cartridges - Differences?

I have figured out that I want to upgrade my cartridge, at some point, to the Koetsu Urushi.
However, there are three different Koetsu Urushi cartridges available:

The Black, The Gold,and The Vermillion.
(Sounds like a spaghetti western movie, huh?!)

Does anybody know if these sound different from each other?

I appears that Koetsu decided to make three different versions of the exact same cartridge for some reason. (I have heard a rumor that the Vermillion sounds slightly better, but that is unconfirmed.) It seems odd that this is the only cartridge in the entire Koetsu line that offers this option.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any input you can offer.

Kurt,
.
I had the Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum in my system and a friend mounted the Urushi in my system one weekend for comparison.
.
The RSP was far superior in my system to the Urushi (but the Urushi was quite beautiful sounding).
.
The RSP had more detail and more magic.
