RE: Different version of Stanton 681EEE

If your question is simply to rank them, then the MkIIS is the winner having a line contact stylus combined with an improved low mass cantilever/suspension. The MkIII is simply junk IMO!!! It was released because the Stereohedron was no longer being made and Stanton simply moved over to a single elliptical profile (0.3x0.7mil) for all styli. It was released during the decline of the company when quality was shockingly bad and so performance was variable.
If your question is so that you can track down NOS styli? Then forget about it. If you have an original stylus assembly you are happy with, get that retipped.
Most NOS styli are being sold because they are now past their "best by" date and you are taking a huge risk. Basically, they are overpriced for the risk you are taking.
