Unequivocal unqualified statements asserting that something is "always" true are "always" wrong. Including the preceding sentence, although not often :-)

MC cartridges new vs. old
Hello,
In my analog source I have intalled a used Lyra Delos as replacement.
But, I was looking a new cartridge, and found two diferent options, a new and old MC cartridges:
a) New Lyra Dorian at 850 € (special dealer offer)
b) Little used (less 50 h) Spectral MCR Signature at 950 €
All I have read about Spectral is great but is a very low output cartridge (0,2 mV) that is apparently hard to drive and very sensible to setup. Is the first generation of Scantech, is an old but appears to be a great low output cartridge from all reviews from users...
Dorian is a new cartridge, more easy to drive (0,6 mV) and also sensible to setup, is the five generation of Scan Tech.... Jonathan Carr, the designer recomend last generation of cartridge in general...
The rest of analog components:
Wilson Benesch Circle TT
Wilson Benesch ACT 0.5 arm
EAR 834P phone
What are your opinion or election betwwen these two or another similar to the Spectral like Lyra Clavis DC...
Thank you for your opinions and help.
Kind Regards,
