Hana ML compared to other high end cartridges

The ML is relatively new, but I recently replaced my Benz Micro Ace SH with a Hana SL and loved the change. It's sound is larger than the Benz and I feel more of a presence of the music.

However, my Benz had close to 1500 hours on it, so that might account for the difference.

My opinion is biased, because I have owned two Gliders (I and II versions) and was underwhelmed by both.  This and other experience leads me to believe that LOMC cartridges or MM/MI cartridges are generally to be preferred over HOMC cartridges like the Glider.  So, I would think the Hana ML is an upgrade, but I admit I have only the good opinions of others to go on.

Thanks, so far it sounds like it is definitely a backwards move. Also the Hana is LOMC so I guess that's one thing in its favor.
