MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme?

I've been using RRL, now MFSL cleaners for several yrs. So when I ran out, I ordered more. However, they now make an Enzyme cleaner. So I ordered the Enzyme cleaner and the Super Deep Cleaner. I used to use the Super Deep cleaner, followed by the Super record wash as per their previous instructions. However when the new cleaners got here I noticed that there is twice the amount of Enzyme than the Deep Cleaner. So, I'm wondering why I should use the Super Deep Cleaner at all. The Enzyme cleaner is supposed to be as good or better than the Deep cleaner from what I have read. And it is cheaper than the deep cleaner. So, is there a reason why I should spend nearly twice the $$$ and use the Deep cleaner instead of the Enzyme?
FWIW, I have been using the Enzyme cleaner and rinsing with distilled water, using my Nitty Gritty cleaning machine. The records shine like they have not done before. The Enzyme cleaner has proven to be a great cleaner IMO. The deep clean is good, but I'm not sure its as good as the Enzyme.

Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on this?

Something interesting, when you use 1-Step cleaners:
Check your diamond, it can be possible, that it will get dirty, even when you use a RCM. The reason is the cleaning solution. Sometimes the mix is not done right and it can't be removed completely out of the grooves.
This is something you should check (no matter what machine you use). When you discover some dirt on the needle even after regular use with the RCM, switch to a enzyme based fluid. They don't show this problem.
More to discover
