I interpret these comments as meaning your system has to be suitable for distinguishing between these two cartridges. If you can't hear any difference, then you might as well get the lower cost cartridge.
This is really a basic consideration in A/B auditioning of components. If you can't tell any difference in a system comparable to your's, then it doesn't matter which one you get. Similarly, if one is more expensive than the other and if the more expensive one sounds better, is the improvement worth the additional cost?
