mono cartridge vs stereo


Lots of the music I want to listen to is in mono. At present I use my stereo cartridge with the mono button pressed on the phono pre. I can't find much on the differences in this vs dedicated mono cartridge. Any insights/experience would be appreciated.

A friend showed me what I thought was "conclusive" proof that his mono cartridge gave better results on mono recordings, so I bought a Miyajima Zero, which is very nice. But it seems to lack the ultimate refinement of my higher end Koetsu (stereo), on a selection of early mono vinyl.
