I like the Benz, but have only heard earlier Lyra's. I had the Benz Ruby 3 mounted on my Vector 3, and it was nothing special. In no way am I saying the Benz is nothing special, but am speaking to a possible lack of synergy. The Lyra on the other hand, is supposed to be a good match with the Vector. May also help to know your phono pre.
Benz Ebony LP or Lyra Delos ?
For about the same money I am getting to buy a Lyra Delos and Benz Ebony LP (not LP-S) cartridge. I listen mostly to classic rock and Blues, so, tone, PRAT and dynamics are most important while soundstage accuracy and transparency can be compromised a little. Tonearm is a Basis Vector 4.
Lyra Delos is highly regarded in general while Benz LP was their top model before the LPS. Which of these would you suggest ?
BTW, I also have an offer on an Ortofon Cadenza Black for about the same money but not sure if it is suited for Rock and Blues.
