No, but I'm sure interested. I've heard encouraging things about the 2M Blue from Marc Phillips, who reviews for Tone Publications, has a Michell Orbe SE, and normally lives by LOMCs and SET amps. The Black not only has the Shibata stylus, Ortofon claims it has a more refined engine than the Red/Blue level.
At your price/performance convergence, it seems that the Sumiko Blackbird would be another strong candidate.
