The AT95E is a bit of a special case because there are fakes and poorly made examples around. They can be damaged quite easily.
One big advantage of the Paratrace is that the stylus has been examined modified and checked by experts before being sent to you.
Aside from that the new version of the AT95E has been out for a couple of years and that might be a good place to start since the body can take any of the styli in the range so you can upgrade to microline/shibata later.
Yes, the VM. I've had a few of the AT95e and some of the stylus were quite a long way out of spec. I've assumed there are a lot of fakes around since it's a popular mass produced item.
