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.

Ok Thanks for Helping rob!

Do you know how the  2M Blue Replacement Stylus compares to the Hana LE?

And is the platter important?
