Opinons on Ortofon 2M Bronze vs. Benz Micro Gold

Considering one of these carts. Anyone have any opinions in terms of how each one sounds? I had a Benz Micro MC20E2 and it was damaged, so am considering the Gold. I liked the sound of the 20E2 which is why I'm thinking about getting the Gold. Friend of mine says he likes the MM Ortofon 2M Bronze a lot, and that you can easily upgrade to the 2M Black by changing out the removable stylus with that of the Black, if and when the stylus needs replacing (i.e. worn out). Would appreciate your observations.

Thanks,

No experience with the Benz. I had the bronze on a sota comet tt with rb300 arm, it is very relaxed and doesnt call attention to itself. It is ultimately very musical and easy to live with.The upgrade path (to black) is a plus as well.

FYI-I currenty have a Origin Live Aurora table with OL silver mk 2 arm with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. I have better results with the OL/silver2/blue set up than the comet/rb300/bronze.
