MONO cartridges


I bought a few Mono reissues and now I think about a proper cartridge for them.
But the information varies a lot, some write, for those reissues I don't need a mono cart., there would be no difference to a stereo cartridge, or the differences are not worth the price difference.
Next, are the modern mono cartridges only stripped down Stereo cartridges?
Half winding, half output?
How about the difference from the needle?
Are the "old" Monos the way to go? SPU?
I have a Lyra Helikon stereo running at the moment, that one is available as a Mono cartridge, or others too.... some experiences?
Thanks

I bought a Titan Mono on Audiogon and I am very pleased with the results in my Airline on the Micro SX8000II. As I am new to using a Mono catridge I must admit that it provides a very lively and intense sound than using a Mono-switch at the Boulder 2008. I never thought that Monos could sound such good!!
