SUT decision: Ortofon Verto vs Ortofon STA6600L

Friends,
I am considering adding a SUT to between my Lyra Skala cartridge and RCM Sensor phonostage. I have noticed that even with a cheap vintage Ortofon SUT there is a clear improvement in terms of musical flow and drama when compared with using the phonostage standalone. At the moment I can get a Ortofon Verto which is a new generation SUT by Ortofon (using Lundahl inside) or I can also get a vintage STA 6600L which uses an original Jorgen Schou SUT inside. Which of them is preferable ? Will the old tranny hold when compared to a latest Lundahl tranny ?

Not sure Pani. The Verto is very good. I have one that I am not using, so if interested let me know

I've had great luck with a EAR MC4 paired with a Lyra Atlas...might be worth considering...

MC4 is very expensive. I am looking for a cheaper alternative.

I am trying to understand if the old Ortofon original Jorgen Schou SUTs are worth considering over the newer Ortofon.

I am also considering the Auditorium 23 SUT (SPU version).
