Pro you will likely end up with a cleaner sonic going SS. You will almost certainly eliminate the high pitched sound, but as mentioned that is suggestive of a physical problem with your pre that should not exist. You may want to get it fixed. The rest of your system sounds fine and with 6 Moon's little shoot out comparing two First Watt amps with the M designed to have a wqarm sound, the Cullen Wyred was found to be even warmer. Yes look it up! I would be careful going overboard with Vandy's. So its a pro for a more middle of the spectrum synergy if you use a crisp SS pre, with the rest a little toasty.
The con, and it's a big one, is the potential loss of stage, air and halography, which is what I always found was the great beauty of tubes. I would suggest to fully appreciate this phenomena try an all tube system with pre and power tube amps. It's quite a revelation. Too me it was, anyway.
