Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i

Some days ago I made a comparison, in the same System, same Arm, same Headshell, same cables ....
It was quite interesting :-)

Lyra Atlas

Lyra Titan i

... to make a long story short:

Both are very good cartridges, but the Titan still amazed me
[Even after all those years].
The differences are in the tonal preference what the Listener likes to hear, for example the sustain of instruments (Atlas) or the linear reproduction of voices (Titan i)

The Olympos is always available if you supply the magnets needed to build the Olympos. The magnets come out of the original Lyra Parnassus cartridge.
J Carr is probably selling a whole lot more Atlas' since everyone is able to get there hands on one if they have the cash.

So you are writing that to get an Olympos, one must buy a used Parnassus
somewhere, somehow, extract the magnets and then send them to Lyra and
wait for a new (with used magnets) Olympos to be built. OK, I sit corrected: The
Olympos is still available.

What would this cost and is it more or less expensive than the readily available
Atlas?

As far as pricing is concerned I do not know.
