Sonic traits of high-compliance carts?

Usually when we talk of compliance (and thus VTF) we talk about practical matters like record wear and tracking. But, in anyone's experience are there certain sonic traits that high-compliance (especially very high vintage MM) carts tend to display?

SHURE ULTRA 500 and V15V-MR with 30+ cu´s on 5 g effective mass wand of SME III  track 100 microns (when very accurately adjusted) at 1.0-1.2 mN VTF.
IME since 1987 superlative sound quality, especially the ULTRA with nuances and dynamics to die for. HC SHURE with vintage very low mass SME III or 3009 works perfectly.

Yes. I never tried without, might be even better ? Its silicon oil reservoir is easy to adjust/remove.
