I would add the Moerch DP-8 to your list. Spectacular bass, and detail retrieval. An added advantage of the Moerch line is the exchangeable armwands, which can be ordered for different effective masses. This makes it easy to run many many types of carts on the same tonearm, with switching as easy as loosening a nut and adjusting VTF.
And Mehran at Sorasound (the US importer) is a real pleasure to deal with. A nice bonus.
