Still looking for the right cartridge...Stanton vs ADC vs Grado vs Denon, etc??

So I've got my cartridge search still happening. I'm intrigued by my experience with the Stanton 400 V3. I'm wondering about the 681EEE. Is the new production model as good as a vintage unit? Furthermore, I've added some more cartridges to my short list. I would appreciate any other recommendations as well as comments on the specific units I have listed. My ideal cartridge would be huge and fat with the bass of the Stanton 400 V3...with the warmth and refinement of the Grado....but would actually track well. I've already established that I don't want a Shure. Here is my list of possibilities:

1) Stanton 681EEE Mk III (I think this is the current model, right?)
2) ADC XLM Mk II (vintage)
3) Denon DL-160
4) Denon DL-110
