YMMV, but the difference was well worth the cost IMHO.

Very hard to compare the two in my opinion, especially for the extra features that the AT provides, though your average user won't need them. I do prefer the warmness of the AT cartridges over Ortofon.
I'd probably recommend the Drop Audio Technica Carbon over both to be honest, but that's just me
