Soundsmith dl103r vs. Dynavector 17d3 ruby ?

I am curious about the Ruby Cantilever 17D3 . The original design of the Cartridge uses a very short [ 17mm ] Diamond Cantilever . Does Soundsmith use their standard length Cantilever ?? Does this affect the sound drastically ???

I have owned several Soundsmith Level 2 & 3 Ruby Cant. Cartridges including a Denon 103 w/Wood Body and my current Shelter 901 and feel every one was an improvement on the Original .

Since you "absolutely loved it" why did you "let it go"?

Finances dictated my sale of that 103r.
Sorry for leaving that little tidbit out?
Anything useful to add??
