Quite a few years ago I was able to buy 3 or 4 BPS with missing cantilevers. I sent them off to Andy Kim for retip, and he used a higher quality cantilever and diamond than what was OEM. The end result was a very good cartridge for not a lot of money. I sent them off to other owners, and everyone enjoyed them immensely.
I suspect that the current BPS EVO is really the same generator as the Blackbird. Get one retipped with a boron cantilever, and a LC stylus and you will have a improved version of the Blackbird. Just my own guess of course, got no proof of this.
