opinions about leaving Audio Technia ART-9 MC for a Ortofon Cadenza bronze mc ?


First off i really enjoy this forum, unlike another bigger forum that  slaps its less refined non professional subscribers more than often. I have a vpi scout 2 currently, i have a AudioTechnica Art-9 mc cart, it really sounds awesome, but i just bought a VPI classic rosewood se 10" arm and am selling the scout 2 so it I was recommended by VPI that the bronze ortofon cadenza elevates that rosewood se to such a level it would be the last cart id ever want to use, has anybody out there had this swap from cart to cart to chime in on the changes you heard, I have the electronics and speakers that can justify the extra loot for the change in cart.

i have an art9 and recently added a cadenza blue.  the blue sounds better, warm and smooth but more midrange clarity than the 9, also much more dynamic. i compare them regularily because i still have the 9.
 if the bronze is warmer than the blue i wouldnt want it.
