I would like to upgrade the cartridge on my Technics SL-B3 turntable. The Denon DL-110 and DL-160 both received excellent reviews boasting their superb quality to price ratios. Both are available online for about the same price, although the DL-160 is the ostensibly higher-end offering. Which would you recommend for my turntable? I'm also open to other suggestions costing less than about $150. Thanks for your help!

Subscribed! Will watch for answers as I currently use a DL160 with great results. But it's getting close to time for a replacement cartridge. I'm wondering if I shouldn't just get the DL110 this time.
I ended up purchasing the DL-110. It turns out that the similarly priced DL-160 cartridges are actually incorrect links to DL-110s. Given the price difference and reports of near identical sound, I went with the cheaper option. And it sounds great!
