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 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.

@grk i do not use those silicone things, just a soft brush like pad and a couple of soft blows of canned air.
how do you like the turntable? I visited the factory and it is amazing.

OP,

Disregard anything that goes against what you know is your own truths. Every person has inherent biases to achieve their own absolute goals of audio nirvana. Its your ears, your system, your money! Enjoy the ride.
