SAE or Luxman

I have an SAE 2400L and  Luxman C-O3 pre amp. If you were to make one matching system which would you chose to do so? The 2100L SAE is what I am considering or the M-3 Luxman. I like the 2400L  and the c-03 not as much. The M-3 is expensive but is it that much better than the 2400L? Opinions for me to ponder thanks.

I personally can't imagine choosing SAE over Luxman.

The only advantage Luxman gear has is the "bling" factor. If you value that instead of "best sound per dollar" ...

Lest I be seen as a Luxman "hater" I have a Luxman preamp in my collection. Albeit one from the 90's Alpine era. Still, it is a nicely-made and very good sounding unit!

Plus I had a massive Luxman integrated amp from the same era that needed repairs. I stupidly left it behind when I moved south! It certainly had that "wow" factor styling!
