ZYX Omega or UNIverse?

These are available for the same price. What are the differences in sonic character? I'd be running with Phantom II or Clearaudio Universal arm, on an Innovation Wood table, with a Steelhead II. All thoughts welcome.

It is brutally resolving and unforgiving. Airy3 on steroids. Both cartridges need a kick a** phono preamp to show their best. Personal tastes are everything but IMO the LP-S or any Benz for that matter gets buried by the Universe. No financial interest.
