Is going from a Ortofon Candenza Black to a Ortofon Winfield a lateral move?


I have an opportunity to pick up a very low use Winfield at a good price. That said, after moving my Cadenza Black I'll pay at least $750 for the Winfield. The Winfield retails for about $1,400 more but to me the specs look pretty similar. Anybody have any experience with these carts to provide some feedback? Thanks.

As the Windfeld PW and the Cadenza Range were both released for sale in 2008.
They were both able to receive the latest technology on offer from Ortofon.

As the Windfeld is also referred to as a PW, this is to identify it as being a Tribute to the legacy of Per Windfeld' whose work at Ortofon included the Rhomann,  Kontrapunk, Jubilee and I would assume the Vienna .

As said before the Technologies that are used by Ortofon today,
were 'pioneered in some of the above MC's.

The 2008 Windfeld was fully loaded, and the Cadenza Range were given selected technology depending on which model.

If it helps, I have had SUT's in other systems and been quite impressed, I have been fortunate to have been able to hear some of these in my system.
I have formed the view that a SUT not only interfaces with a Cartridge but also with a System.
A SUT that impresses in one system with another Cartridge does always reciprocate in another system with a different cartridge.

The SUT that has really shone in my system with my rebuilt Ortofon K'B is a Cinemag 1251 Transformer bases SUT which I had commission built for myself. 
This SUT has also delivered in one other system, and made a very positive impression on the other listeners.
Covid put a stop to this SUT being used at other systems.
 
The Cinemag 1251 would be quite similar to a Bob's Devices design.

   
Seems SUT require careful matching to with the cart and the system. Problem is right now affordable ones are hard to find. For starters I settled on the Rothwell MCL. These are sold out right now at Music Direct. I was able to buy the last one available through BritAudio. My CB just comes more alive using it through my old Musical Fidelity bb-1. I can’t find any specs on it. It’s battery powered, so it’s active, right?  Seems like Ortofon SUT’s were made for carts like the Cadenza line and above but again those are hard to find and don’t want to buy one from Japan through eBay. Too much of a hassle to return, etc. if there an issue with it. 
Sorry a small error occurred.
The phono board setting by using my 1:20 SUT is of course set at 40db (and 49k ohm) as is common for most MM Cartridge, and zero added capacitance loading + the added 6db from the ML 326S pre amp.

Very interesting.  I just looked at my PW, which is the older version, under my Wild Heerbrugg microscope to confirm that it has a Replicant or line contact type stylus.  I compared it with both my 2M Black and Cadenza Black, to verify that they have Shibata stylii.  Just wanted to calibrate my eyeballs and make sure that I was looking at a non-Shibata geometric shape.  So I am not quite sure what to make of Michelle's PW with a Shibata stylus.  Maybe there was a running change somewhere along the line?  I don't know.  I did buy mine directly from Ortofon.  For the record it should also be stated that Ortofon is consistent throughout their line.  There has always been a natural and consistent progress in terms of sound quality as you move up through the line, as well as very consistent performance unit to unit. They have always displayed excellent quality control in my experience going back to my college days when I worked in HiFi retail for most of the 1970s. I can state that both my Cadenza Black and Windfeld are very neutral cartridges.  The difference between them, and it is quite noticeable to me, is that the latter has greater clarity, depth, and a more detailed presentation.  To answer other questions in this thread, I listen to mostly jazz and some classical, but really think that any genre, at least for modern recordings, would reveal these differences.

Thanks @billstevenson. Not knowing much about the replicant styli, I did a google search and found some info. As with anything more sophisticated in engineering and design, looks like more attention to detail is needed with this types of stylus. That said, is the replicant stylus significantly more difficult to dial in compared to shibatas?
