There is a hype because it is one of the rarest version of FR 7 family.
@edgewear You’re right about shorter cantilever, as i can read in the English catalog about model 702:
"Newly developed short cantilever reduce the effective mass of the moving parts to approximately two thirds that of previous MC cartridges to faithfully reproduce the wide dynamic range of the highly modulated groove cut into today’s best audiophile discs."
I must say there is no FR-7fz in this catalog, while the rest of the models such FR-7 are there. Probably FR-7fz indeed was the latest model.
Mystery!
