Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range?


Soundsmith seems to be a great option for the long term due to their retipping prices. I'm just curious if the performance of the Otello or Carmen is better than anything under $1000 from AT, Ortofon, Hana, etc. I'm running a Technics 1200GR-Elac PPA-2 MM/MC Phono pre. 

I'm not looking for other options as much as opinions on the Soundsmith VS other options.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a 1200G later this year. I'm now thinking the ZEPHYR may be the way to go, especially switching to a higher end TT. May be the last cartridge I would ever need
