Theta Data II good transport?

I have a data basic 2 which has been a great transport so far. I also have a Micromega stage one for a spare, as a transport the Theta is a better unit. FYI both units use Phillips transports as do many high end units!

I have owned a Theta Data II for about five years now with no reliability problems. I think the unit sounds very rich and detailed. It has recently faired very well with in home A/B's with the dcs Verdi and the latest Spectral transport. Both of which are >$8K retail.

...whoever has the luck whoever doesn't. I'm with Muse suggestion also but not realy shure if it outperforms Theta.
