hana sl or one of the AT-ART9?

i read that the  original ART9 was DISCONTINUED.
there are two other options.

AT-ART9XI with Output Voltage 0.5 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
and AT-ART9XA with 0.2 mV (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec.)
the lower output is a bit worry me.
any insights from members that tried both?
or there is still a way to get the ART9

i am thinking now about an additional candidate.
the lyra delos, that i read good opinions about.
i know ,it’s more expansive, but if i will convinced that its better than the art 9, i am willing to starch my budget

sorry for confusing you and my self.
i read this:
"A tonearm whose effective mass is rated at 10 grams or below is considered low mass".
"A phono cartridge whose compliance is rated at 12 x l0ˉ6 or below, is considered low compliance".
"Low mass arms mate well with both moderately high and very high compliance phono cartridges."

my ton arm ( well tempered) is 10grams.
checked the compliance of the AT-ART9XA
 

Static Compliance 20 x 10-6 cm/dyne
Dynamic Compliance 10 x 10-6 cm/dyne (100 Hz)
for the 

 

for ART 9 XI

Static Compliance 25 x 10-6 cm/dyne
Dynamic Compliance 15 x 10-6 cm/dyne (100 Hz)
don't know which one is the important

, static or  dynamic, and hoe it will effect the sound.
for lyra delos:

  • Compliance: Approx. 12 x 10-6cm/dyne at 100Hz
