Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience about how these Koetsu Urushi models differ in sound? I know the Blue Sky and Vermillion have lower output, and that each have different coil materials, but how does this affect the sound, particularly the sound of the highs?

"It seems popular to bash the Koetsu line these days, but the Urushi still gives me great pleasure, and I now own several other cartridges with which to make comparisons".

I own a Jade, but will be buying a second cartridge soon.
Let's say in the $2,000 range new. Just curious what other carts you like along w/ your Urushi. I am considering the
EMT tsd-15 at the moment. I see this thread is on the quiet side as Koetsu threads tend to be, so figured I would hijack it. Thanks in advance.

Interesting stuff. I have heard Brinkman's new TT is a DD.
Thanks a bunch. Of course the Stone bodies are a little tougher to match on a tonearm.
