If a replacement stylus is "new old stock" rather than recently-manufactured, it's possible that flexible plastic/rubber elements have not retained their original mechanical properties. I don't for sure that styli are prone to this, but I've seen foam and rubber stuff on old audio gear that's crumbled to dust or turned to goo. So, I'd vote for investing in a cartridge that has a future.
Something else to beware of when buying "old stock" needles or cartridges: it's human nature to put the old part back in the box after installing a new one, "just in case" the new needle gets broken during a house party or something.
