Why are you staying with an integrated? Have you considered getting separate BAT pre and BAT amps? Or get a BAT pre and add to another solid state, like Pass or a Luxman? It really depends on whether you want the next evolution, or a whole other type of sound.
If you really have it down to 2 integrated units, can you do a home demo? Even with shipping and a restock fee, it may be worth it.
