I cant tell you about the differences between the 2 carts. because I am only familiar with the one I have. I purchased the SL because that was the one I found so much positive feedback about. If you want to save some $ the E model also has gotten good reviews. Good luck!

Terrific value for money." – Paul Rigby, Hi-Fi World “This is performance that any more costly cartridge should equal at a bare minimum, and that some don’t.” —Andre Jennings, The Absolute Sound, 2017 Golden Ear Award (SL model)
