while I'm not certain the bodies are exactly the same, the tips work fine when interchanged between various models. Be advised, however, that the very cheapest models don't have interchangable tips at all.

the DJ-S model (the blue one) has been very good to me, plus they come with an extra stylus. I'm only on my 2nd pair in three years, and they get used in the club fairly regularly. Ortofons in general are fairly gentle on the records -- especially when compared with scratch carts like the Shure M44-7 -- so for DJ use I would stick with the spherical styli.
