Which cantilever to choose for re-tip


I have two cartridges I plan on having re tipped by Soundsmith. One is a Shelter 501 II, and the other is a Lyra Lydian B.
Both of these came originally with boron cantilevers. 
Is it worth the $450 each for the boron or should I go for the $350 ruby?

I would leave it up to Peter.  Both times I sent him carts he felt the best way to go was to just replace the stylus on the original cantilever.  And yes, he used what appears to be a blob of glue to attach it, but the carts sounded absolutely great when I got them back.  I can't tell you whether they sounded identical to the original, but I was very happy with the sound.
