I'm struggling to get a clear list of the Jico styli for a technics 270C cartridge. Their own website is missing some versions that you can buy from retailers, and vice versa. It's difficult to figure out what is available at what price level, does anyone have a good overview?

Try this site....
 
Been there, doesn't really answer my question though!
Unfortunately it means you have to decide what's best for yourself and what's available anywhere.
Retailers will only stock what they think they can sell and, if they get that wrong they are stuck with items they cannot sell and that are no longer manufactured by Jico....

Have you got part numbers by any chance?? Different stores have different descriptions or identical descriptions for multiple products at different prices.
 
Retailers have a different list of products to jico's own website. You'd naturally think the retailer is either old stock or fake, but it's across several retailers!
Probably old stock, I can't think there would be a great call for them these days, and Jico website what they currently produce.
That is assuming retailers actually have them in stock and are not simply items they think they can order from Jico when needed.... 😎
