Benz has a "house sound", just as Koetsu does. If you like the overall sound of your L2, but just want an improvement, stick with Benz.Between the two, I'd get the Urushi (review on my site below), finding it much more musically involving than the Ruby 2 or Ebony LP (sorry, I haven't tried the Ruby 3).
OTOH, the Shelter 90x (review below) has the harmonically complete sound of the Urushi with much better bass and a cleaner, more extended treble. I think it even tops the RS Platinum. I enjoyed the Urushi (2 cartridges - a Sugano Sr. and a new production), but after installing the 90x, I never looked back.
Happy listening.
