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

Thanks for the advice.  
I think I'm going to order the standard version, after hearing that it offers better "weight of sound and dynamics" than the SL version.
I imagine the SL version would be ideal for classical, jazz and vocal music, but my tastes are a bit different so I think the standard version will be great.
