which Alpha Core MI2 is the one to buy?


I am interested in buying Alpha Core MI2 speaker wire and even the Alpha Core website is confusing. There is MI2 Python, MI2 Veracity and MI2 Goertz, I think the Goertz is the main one that gets the rave reviews but, can someone confirm this? What is the difference between the three? Also does anyone know the sonic difference between the regular spades and the silver spades? It seems to me if you buy a copper wire you would not want silver spades.

thank you everyone who answers

Sean, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

All kidding aside, thanks for the lengthy reply, I am not sure I know anymore now than before though.

You did raise another question I have though. I have LAT SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables and I recently had Cardas Golden Cross, intgernally bi-wired. LAT states the following on these, "(Four wires in one jacket)". It appears to me, on the Golden Cross, that for their bi-wire they take a single run and at the speaker end split the wires to make the bi-wire. (I could be wrong but that is the way it looked.) If this is true, I assumed that the LAT design was considered externally bi-wired, as Cardas lists their design as internal. Am I correct?
Here is a reply that I received in the past from Lou at LAT in regards to their SS-1000 D bi-wire.

"The bi- wire version has four separate wires in the jacket along its entire length. At the amplifier end two wires are placed in one connector for the negative post and the same is done for the positve post. Some people who biamp ask for all four wires to be placed in individual connectors."
