If you like the Beyer mid warmth (not as present on T1.2 as T1.3 but still there, perhaps better so), I would definitely suggest the 909 over the Anni tuning. If you want something cooler and analytical the Anni is the better option imo.I’ve been on just a mid-fi modest setup of a gen 2 T1 with a 789 for over a year now, just about ready to jump back into a more serious rig now that WFH seems reasonably permanent. Definitely been missing the fostex sound lately.
I haven’t heard any of the anniversary tuning models, how did you find the pearl white 900 vs the 909?
The 909 shifts the 900's 500 hz dip upwards into the upper mid scoop (~1 kHz), whereas to my ear the anni shifts it down towards bass. This extends the bass emphasis way out into the lower mids on the 909 and backwards on the Anni. Basically the 909 retains the OG 900's warmth while increasing neutrality, whereas the anni tuning decreases the 900's warmth producing more analytical effect.
