I have made the choice a couple of times now, when it came to keeping particular pressings of favourite albums, to keep the pressing that sounded more "clear and detailed". Only to realize later that I made a mistake and then I ended up repurchasing the one that sound warmer and more "there". Even in your description of the sound, you described the Luxman in more emotive terms than the Pro-Ject, let alone your emotional connection to it. So the choice seems pretty obvious to me, as an innocent bystander... And that Benz appears to be a more cost-effective cartridge than the Ortofon, so imagine if you kept the Luxman and added the 2M Red. Which you can still upgrade with a 2M Blue stylus. Or eventually move to a proper low-output MC cart...</blockquote>
