Lyra Kleos or Kleos SL?

I'm considering said cartridge upgrade but would like to hear opinions on the two versions offered.

My TT is an SME 20/2 with a SME IV mk iv tonearm.
Phono preamp is a Parasound JC-3+.

Wondering if the SL version (which is lower output than the regular version) would play well with the JC-3+, or if I might need to add a SUT to the chain.  

Also, my musical tastes lean toward classic rock, blues, folk, alt-country, with some jazz thrown in for good measure.  Not sure if this is a major factor in the decision or not, but thought I'd let you know.

Please let me know your thoughts if you've had experience with these two carts.

Thanks,

Peter

Did anybody compare the Kleos SL with the normal Etna (not SL)? I own the latter and also a normal Kleos. Eventually, I'll upgrade from Kleos to SL and I wonder how much the distance still is to the normal Etna. Upgrade to Etna SL would also be an option, though I prefer the Kleos as "everyday" cartridge...
