Rotel Mich P5 vs McInstosh C49


Hello All,
Looking to buy a new pre-amp and I am down to the McIntosh C49 or the Rotel Michi P5. Trying to keep cost of Pre-AMP+DAC under $5K.
Thoughts on these to? I hear the resell is better on the C49, but don't plan on selling it. My concern on the Michi P5 is long term durability.

I like a warm sound with a rich mid, defined bass and not to brassy on the upper end.
Thank you all for your input.

Not using a McInstosh Amp. I know Mac excels at Tube Pre-Amps/Amps - but how is their solid state?  I have read mixed reviews and the SS don't seam to hold value as well as the Tube versions.
Mac's SS stuff is also excellent. Not many SS amps hold their value, especially if they are more than 2 channels.
The C49 is an excellent preamp and built like a tank.  It also has an upgradeable DAC module and that's a big plus.  Resale is also not a concern with any of their preamps or amplifiers.  Home theater stuff will lose value because it becomes obsolete so quickly.

Since you like warmer, richer sound, you should also check out their amps when you have a chance.  You won't be disappointed.

Happy listening!
Having a hard time finding a place to go listen to them. The one dealer we have sold their floor model and doesn't expect to get one back for month or so. 
Thank you for the feedback and info.

Has anyone had a chance to listen see the Rotel Michi? I can't find one local.
Thank you everyone for your input. I finally tracked down a dealer with both the McIntosh and Rotel Michi preamps. It was worth the 4 hour drive (each way).
The Rotel Michi is a very solid build and had my favorite remote and menu interface.  The pre-amp really put the voices up front and made them feel real / in-person. The issue is that it seemed to mute the rest of the instrumentals to accomplish it.
The C53 (no C49 in stock) did a better job of creating a full sound stage. It also provided a fuller bass.
So that being said - I bought neither.
I did buy a C22. The tube preamp just created a warmer fuller sound that sang to my heart.
