Sumiko Celebration II and VPI JMW 10 original ?

We have a Dyna XX-2 that is amazing on some recordings, less than special on others. Bottom line - I find it a musical roller coaster ride, wife hates it. There is a pre-amp gain/cart-output mismatch that may be the culprit. We have a DV 20X2m backup cart in place. Wife loves it but I miss the detail. We're looking at the Sumiko. It has the right output (.5 mv), a musical presentation and positive reviews. Before I lay down $2500 - comments? Good? Bad?
Thanks!

I would love a two arm table but .... the Sumiko is a reach that may not even happen $$$. Agree with everything you said.

I showed this thread to the wife. She says you need to get a life.
