IMO AT have more consistent product quality and superlative tracking ability. The ML stylus is (in my opinion) the best technical design of the commonly available tip profiles, so if you bought the 740ML, don't be in a rush to return it. The ML will enable consistent performance (assuming you align it optimally to begin with) all the way to the inner grooves. It is the only stylus profile (apart from the fine cut Ogura PA (3x30um)) which will fully reproduce the bandwidth at all signal levels (only limited by the tip mass) all the way to the inner grooves - the ML has half the scanning radius of the Shibata and has a straight contact line compared to the curving line of the Shibata which contributes to the characteristic Shibata sound.
Ortofon 2M styli are not up to the same technical standard or production quality/consistency in my opinion so it really comes down to whether you can get along with the AT MM voicing compared to the Ortofon.
I have lots of MM cartridges from both (as well as AT MCs), but I use them for transcription purposes and apply EQ to correct response anomalies so my priorities are more on technical performance so I would lean to the AT but I can get along with either sonically.
