Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95

Anyone got a chance to compare modded xa5400 and Oppo 95 units? How would you define the overall sound character of the two? I am using Merlin speakers with ARS filarmonia amplifier. I like to listen Jazz and Classical mainly. Would like to have a great resolution, vocal clarity, focused sound stage and full bodied presentation (..of Piano and string instruments).
Not looking for comparison between stock and modded units.
Please help me decide between the two. Thanks.

Hey Jeff(JWM), you too Charles, let's be clear on this, you both kinda like the new MW/Oppo 105? Your comments were sorta vague.

JWM,
Did you add any other mods besides the Bybee? Are you using the stock tubes and power cords? Did you request the "hole'' for a potential taller rectifier tube?

No mods except the Bybee rails. I'm using the same tubes in the new unit as my old one. The two 13EM7 are stock tubes as I don't have new old stock tubes of them.

No hole and I'm using coincident power cords.
