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

@rauliruegas I was talking to the OP, and noting that our tastes seem to be similar. I was simply stating the basis for my inference. If that offends you, I am sorry and should have sought your permission first. Please let us know what you expect of us.

Astolfor, there is a first class sound shop across the Straight of Juan de Fuca in Victoria. I have bought most of my gear there over thirty years. That shop is Sound Hounds (250-595-4434, Tuesday - Saturday).

With the MV Coho ferry operating from Port Angeles to Victoria as of Nov 8, that possibility is re-openning.

@rauliruegas I have the Etsuro gold in my home and love it., the dealer I bought the tt for the USA gave me both cartridges for the cost of the rosewood signature. Why would I not buy them? I am not as uninformed or uneducated, as I might come across.
I am aware of the original manufacture for the cartridges.
