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.

Hi Kurt!!

Just thought I would let you know that your 'old' Michell Gyro SE with SME V arm has found a loving, caring, home here in Michigan. I also have been considering a Koetsu Urushi for my setup. My Benz Glider is great, but some mysterious force is calling me to try the Urushi. One member recommended a person on E-Bay called 2juki. I e-mailed him back in Jan 04, he never replied....but that does not mean he is a good source. As soon as I recover from my knee replacement, I intend to make the plunge.
Regards,
