MFSL Super Deep Cleaner or Enzyme?

I've been using RRL, now MFSL cleaners for several yrs. So when I ran out, I ordered more. However, they now make an Enzyme cleaner. So I ordered the Enzyme cleaner and the Super Deep Cleaner. I used to use the Super Deep cleaner, followed by the Super record wash as per their previous instructions. However when the new cleaners got here I noticed that there is twice the amount of Enzyme than the Deep Cleaner. So, I'm wondering why I should use the Super Deep Cleaner at all. The Enzyme cleaner is supposed to be as good or better than the Deep cleaner from what I have read. And it is cheaper than the deep cleaner. So, is there a reason why I should spend nearly twice the $$$ and use the Deep cleaner instead of the Enzyme?
FWIW, I have been using the Enzyme cleaner and rinsing with distilled water, using my Nitty Gritty cleaning machine. The records shine like they have not done before. The Enzyme cleaner has proven to be a great cleaner IMO. The deep clean is good, but I'm not sure its as good as the Enzyme.

Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on this?

"Commercial" enzyme cleaner:

SPORICIDIN

I've used ALL of the "approved" LP enzyme cleaners. Their performance ranged from very good to bad. Sporicin mixed 1 oz. to one quart of distilled/filtered water works BETTER than ANY of them and at a small fraction of the cost.

Ive been using the Enzyme Plus for over a year now. New or used vynil. I place the lp on a clean micro fibre cloth squirt a little around the LP and clean it with a disc doctor brush. Then on to the record cleaner for a vacuum , a clean rinse and vacuum. Getting great results. I really notice it on the used vynil which I let sit a few minutes before hitting it with the brush. A little goes a long way. Cheers
