I've owned the Red, Blue, Bronze, and Black. (Unfortunately only able to listen to the Bronze for a little while due to its becoming a casualty to the cleaning lady's dust rag. Imagine my surprise when the cartridge hit the vinyl.)
I'd say they are all good and seem to pretty much scale up in quality with the price. I love the Black. I would vote for an upgrade from the Red to the Blue. In looking back on my impressions, the Red was "great for such a cheap cartridge" and the Blue was just "a good cartridge."
I also had the experience of the Red not being as forgiving with worn records.
