No-one demos cartridges any more and it's a problem finding the right one for you. Your best bet is to hear one in another system, as well as read reviews by trusted writers to at least create a shortlist. From your list, I've owned one in the past and own one of them now. If you lived a little closer, you'd be welcome to come and have a listen to the Shelter.
