Sumiko Blackbird or Dynavector 20x for VPI?

I think I've come down to these two cartridges for my Scoutmaster. Both are winners and both seem do do really well with the table. Is there a reason to go with one over the other ... I'm having a tough time deciding. I know one of the differences is that the Dynavector has a line contact stylus. I'm not familiar with that so I'm not sure what the benefits might be.

When I purchased my table(Scoutmaster)I called VPI and low and behold--Harry answered the phone.He recommended both the Dynavector and the Blackbird.I'm using a 20X low output with the new Karat body style that I recently purchased from Quest For Sound.I know Steve at Quest is fond of the Grado Sonata on the Scout and Scoutmaster.I'm still breaking in the 20X.It is much faster and more detailed than the Benz 2H that it replaced.The Benz did have a warmer and fuller presentation.
