If you're serious about getting one or the other, then you really owe it to yourself to A/B them, too. I know there are plenty of places that carry both lines but just don't know if there are any near you. If nothing else, A/Bing sure helps reduce buyers remorse and the never-ending what-if's...
Can't comment on the brightness suggestion, for all the obvious reasons - but that sure is another thing to watch (or listen) for. If you can somehow A/B your prospective choices through a Musical Fidelity that would be a very good thing. And then, of course, there's that whole deal with how either will sound in your listening area. The best part is that you're not likely to go wrong w/ either choice - both are outstanding. Good luck!
