AT OC9 XEB?

Anyone have one of these budget MC's?
https://www.lpgear.com/product/ATOC9XEB.html

I'm thinking of getting one while my cart gets a look at for warranty.
I've used the OC9III in the past, and for the money it was fine. Just wondering
what you heard for the low cost? It's half the cost of a new(remaining stock)one.

This is a "you get what you paid for" hobby, so I'm curious. If I can't get a replacement for a reasonable cost, I may go back to the AT ART9.

The EXB is being considered simply on cost. I knew before reading the specs it would have cost appropriate features.

This is just a backup, while waiting on my main cart. I'm going to look at some MM's also.

@tablejockey i'm pretty sure on MM/MI territory you can find a better cheap cartridge, especially on vintage MM/MI territory. If you can double your budget you will probably find a better alternative to your ART9, that can be not just back up but an equal contender.

Thanks for the advice  Chakster.

My thinking is just having a $300 cheapie
like the small tire car manufacturers provide as the spare.

For $358 go with the oc9/ii.
If you can stretch the budget a small amount that is.
