Need help Agoners...have been torn between buying Dynavector 17D3, Ortofon Quintet Black, Sumiko Blackbird. Any other better alternatives?

It has less than 10 hours on it all put on by me. I bought it Nos sealed. It was the top-of-the-line a static which I think was the same as the glanz ?

The best Astatic is MF2100 ? The best Glanz is definitely MF61 with paroc stylus tip on boron cantilever.
