I've not compared the two, but the short story is I went with the standard edition due to how I intend to use the cart (long explanation available upon request). If I was choosing a MM mono cart to use with my Mc pre as you are, I'd probably shell out the extra cash for the SE. Especially since your stereo cart is the SS Paua (I have one as well), you might as well spend the extra cash which in the grand scheme of this hobby isn't a lot.

Interesting observations and thanks for the reply. The Ortofon website suggest the body material of the SE version is different from the regular 2m Mono. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
Are you pleased with the regular 2M Mono's sonic performance?
