Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge vs.Pro-Ject - Debut Carbon Esprit S

Hey, 

I finally got back into vinyl and purchased a ProJect Debut Carbon DC.  After purchasing I realized that there's a another Proj-ect, a  Debut Carbon Esprit SB, and am wondering if I should return the Carbon DC and buy  the Espirit.

Anyone know if the Espirit is a major upgrade?  Or is the Carbon DC upgradeable making it equal or better than the Espirit?

I know the Carbon DC can be upgraded with a new blue Cartridge and a Platter.  

I need to send the TT back within the next few days so I'd appreciate some feedback asap.

TIA

The Hana LE mc for $500 is another good choice - and better than an Ortofon mm.

Awesome!  I might be able to stretch my budget for that.

Can you provide a link?

Also wondering if there are significant differences between the Carbon DC and the Espirit.

The cartridge choice is more important than the difference between the two Carbons.
