I have the Kiseki Blue N.S. on my VPI Classic 2.  It's an excellent cartridge.  Everything I've read about the Purple is that it takes things up another notch.  I bought mine here from seller Kron.  He has the Purple Heart for significantly less than MSRP - https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa76gb-kiseki-purple-heart-n-s-brand-new-cartridges

Having said all that, I have heard a few mentions of people having defective Purple Hearts, so make sure your purchase includes a warranty.

@tommypenngotti I didn't ask Kron, but assumed "grey market".  

I recently picked up a Soundsmith Aida II and really like it.  I like the people behind it too.  I bought mine second hand and it didn't have a stylus guard.  I contacted Soundsmith to see if I could buy one and they sent me one free.
