I am having a hard time deciding on which of these to get.

Going on my Thorens TD166 MKII with a Magnepan Unitrac 1 tone arm,

Any preferences or advise?
 
I would suspect both would like to see a arm with more mass.

The 520EBs I have installed have been in basic medium to higher mass, mass market type arms.
 
The OM series could be a good choice as they come with a weight in the top which can be removed. 5 grams with the weight, 2.5 grams without. If it seems O.K. with the weight, then maybe other higher weight cartridges will also be O.K.
