Here's a batch of hearsay .... The Conical seems to be kind of the Stylus-Profile equivalent of, say, an idler-drive versus a present-day beltdrive (or similar 'outmoded' versus 'widely-accepted' comparison).... Moreso in the EU and Japan than here, the Conical stylus, whether in an older Denon, Ortofon, Decca or whatever context, seems to be coming to be regarded as another kind of flavor rather than piece of history...
Contacts I've got in EU pretty much confirm the posts below, ie, conicals unbeatable in middle ranges of freq response whereas ellipticals extend the extremes. Wish I had more on this personally, but I don't. When my fractured finances recover from recent acquisitions, I'll be, well, I'll be in your position, wanting to go SPU but needing to know more on this exact issue.....Let us know what you go with and how it works out...

ps.. FJ below is certainly right on the wear-down issue re ellipticals 'spreading the footprint' etc
