How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono

I am now using all LAMM pre/power and my LAMM dealer offers pretty good deal on the LAMM LP2 phono deluxe version for me. I understand that 5-7 years ago, it is considered one of the top phono available but have not heard much about it recently and wonder how it might stand up to the more recent phono unit such as ARC Ref2, AMR, Audio Valve, Rhea Signature or Audia Flight etc.
I plan to audition LP2 but other units will be a bit difficult to find and I may not be able to audition them all unfortunately.
Thanks for your comment

I enjoy the discussion on this thread very much. Having at least too many phono-pres - now the EMT JPA 66 has arrived (No. 5) - I am considering selling my wonderful lammLP2 DeLuxe with Western Electric tubes etc. for a reasonable amount. If you have any questions about the improvements pls. let me know. I have a huge room but space is running short...

Thuchan, I wish you mentioned this earlier. After extended audition at home, I just told me dealer to go ahead and order a new unit for me but with 20:1 SUT. But I suppose since my local dealer loan a unit to me for several weeks, I should not get the unit elsewhere anyhow :)

Suteetat, sorry - this was not my intention. Only when I received the JPA 66 my space went short. What I do here is a bit of overkill in my system (too many units on high level). Therefore I will make a bit loss in the end.
