Benz MC Gold vs Sumiko Blue Point special


I have recently purchased a Clearaudio Emotion T/T with the Satisfy arm. I've been out of this hobby for several years. Used to have A Cosmos SME V combo. Just getting back into it. I'd like to know if you folks any thoughts on the on the Benz MC Gold vs Sumiko Blue point special.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

Although I liked my Sumiko Black Pearl, I absolutely love the BenZ Micro Gold! Way way more detail and the sound stage opens up nicely. I notice a lot of timber with the Benz too! I do not even think mine is broken in as it only has about 12 Hrs on it. But I love it! And yes I realize you are comparing it to the blue point, but thats something I have never owned. So just giving my actual experience. Cheers and good luck.
I need something with high output as it will be going into a Denon 2801 AVR receiver. I picked those two because there price is relatively close. Speakers are B&W CDM9's
I appreciate the input. Thank you very much.
