Jeff Rowland Capri VS Capri S2

I have been offered a JRDG Capri, with a phono stage, at a great price, I understand there is a newer version of that preamp called Capri S2. I was wondering if anyone here has had the opp to use both in their system and their thoughts and impressions of these two. The Capri S2, retails for almost double the price of the original Capri. 

Many Thanks

Thank you for your detailed reply. What kind of power amplifire you were using with Capri?
I purchased JRDG 102 about two weeks ago, no regrets.

To OP, At the beginning, I too had JRDG 102 amp to mate with Capri original and many small bookshelves in a small room- good result(very) sweet sounding and ease to the eyes. Good combo. 
I now have VTL ST-150 tube amp to drive Sonus Faber Cremonas floorstandings. Best

Do you use power conditioners for your pre and power?

I like using Richard Gray Power conditioner. It has the warmth and mellow that I like. I did have everything hooked up to Richard Gray including my integrated amp, but my new tube amp now goes direct to wall outlet instead of Richard Gray.
Cheers
