I have the Pickering equivalent, the XV15-625E and the XL33-U. I understand they are the same body, and seemingly the same stylus (Stereohedron) on the XL33-U version. The 681EEE mk2S may have a better finished/cut version of the stylus though. The 625E stylus is a Pickering elliptical.

Sorry typo! I supposed to write:
"Pickering XV-15 625E is not Stereohedron but eclipses."
Now I confused. The Pickering XV-15 625E is not A, but eclipses. Therefore, looks like this isn't 681EEE MK2S.
Hi Justin
The P-mount bodies have slightly different electrical specifications with the nominal inductance specifies at 900mH rather than 930mH. Also, the angle of the tip is adjusted to reflect the different angle that the body sits at. So putting a P-mount tip on a normal 1/2 inch body results in a slightly higher SRA. I have found the SRA on the normal 1/2 inch styli to be somewhat below optimum and sit between 0 and 1 degree. Some are negative!! So the P-mount styli actually work better in a 1/2 inch body.
Interesting that you mention about the cut quality - I have found that the Stereohedron tips on the low end models to be rather poor! These cheaper ones are bonded. Under the microscope, the cuts are not straight or symmetric. In some cases, they are not bonded in the correct orientation. My D6800EEEIIS styli were nude whereas my D-11S and D73S are bonded.

Yes, I suspected that the higher quality production attracted commensurate pricing.
