You're looking at a two box preamp with an outboard power supply versus a much smaller preamp with integrated power supply. In theory a preamp with an outoard power supply should sound better, be quieter, extend more into the frequency extremes, especially bass. That being said it's not a guarantee of performance but it's a good design choice.
Are you able to listen to either of these? The C1100T may sound better but how much better vs the difference in price? That's the question.
