Looking at: Sumiko Starling Used Benz Micro Van den Hul MC1 Dynavector Karat/XX Ortofon Cadenza blue ART 9 or VPI Shyla VPI also has some carts on special right now like a refurbished Shyla and some VAS stuff. Currently using a retipped Transfiguration Spirit III, a Dynavector Karat 23, Sumiko Talisman A and an Ortofon MC30 Super. I’d like to narrow my playing down to one cart! Also not opposed to finding a used cart and retipping. Good luck!

The difference I think is in the arm construction/thickness. Some folks just don't get the uni-pivot.
