In principle a NOS stylus would be better than an equivalent after-market product since any patented features would necessarily not be part of the after-market version. However, in practice I would avoid NOS styli of that vintage - Shure (in the Knowledge Base) themselves acknowledge that the styli have a finite life in storage and due to hardening of rubber materials for damping etc you may have a product that doesn't meet specifications.

A (model specific) JICO SAS (I use one for my M97) is the way to go for two reasons - a vastly superior stylus to any Shure model which didn't otherwise have a MR profile (same design as SAS) and of course "fresh" new materials!
