Lyra Kleos or Ikeda 9TT

It's almost time for a new cartridge. I have been leaning towards a Lyra Kleos but recently someone mentioned I should look at an Ikeda 9TT. I have read a couple of reviews and they were positive, no real surprise. I am interested in anyones opinion that has experience with these cartridges. The tonearm I will be mounting them on is a Triplanar.

Thanks

Thanks for your response.

May I ask what is the mass of your tonearm?

According to my research the 9TT is a low compliance cartridge and works best with a high mass tonearm (greater than 25 grams) while the Lyra is a medium compliance cartridge and works better with a low or medium mass tonearm.
