Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please

I ended up buying an Acoustic Signature Typhoon, with a 11" Kuzma 4Point. Now the question is which cartridge I get.
I have a Hana E and M in my current VPI and really like them, but I looking forward to test something else. I like detail without much in your face(?), soundstage and some hint of warmth. 

I saved $4K for a cartridge and I am getting 25% off on any cartridge I want, and do not need to spend the $4k.

I am open to other brands, except Sound Smith which I had in my Bergmann Galder and did not like at all.

My system for the Typhoon is composed of
Tannoy Kensington
Pathos Heritage, or Primaluna 300
Manley Labs Steelhead 
all powered with a PS powerplant.
Thank you

I have the Acoustic Signature Triple X initially with the Hana SL. Recently upped to the Red which is just stunning! If you like the Hana line you might consider it. Great table you have ;-)

Those 3 all seem like great choices. And you have a great system. I used to own Kensington - now Canterbury - and Koetsu cartridges get along *exceptionally* well with them both!

@mulveling, I got tired of waiting for them! Those are awesome speakers.
@audiosaurusrex is the Umami 2x better than the SL :) which table and arm do you use?
