Lyra Delos and Soundsmith

I sent my Delos to soundsmith. I was wondering If I should go with boron or ruby cantilever. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Many feel that there aren't enough ferrous materials in the typical MC to demag, and the ones that are there you wouldn't want to? Would there be any long term deleterious effects from persistent demagging? Kind regards...

JCarr's comments above related to a comparison between a Brand New Delos vs a Soundsmith re-tipped Helikon or Argo, the Delos was not retyped/rebuilt.

In this case, was the "retipping" of the HELIKON/ARGO a replacement of the stylus alone, or (as is more typical with Soundsmith) of the entire cantilever/stylus assembly?
