I have the x-ray and love it. I'm told it's very similar to the A3. Also remember you get 30 days to try it at home through Audio Advisor. I'm lucky enough to have an understanding dealer so when I got the X-ray I took it to my favorite dealer for comparisons. Good luck. From what I've read you can't go wrong either way. Like Creeper said the MF should go well with your other MF gear.
