Getting into SACD

My Arcam FMJ 23T cd player sounds pretty darn good, but I want the capability to also play SACDs. What players should I be considering? The Modwright Oppo, the Exemplar Oppo and the Sony 5400 are currently on my short list.

I own one and it's a great CDP for the money, but for $1600 (demo price) the Marants SA-15S2b betters it by a big margin insofar as Redbook is concerned and plays SACD as well. It's all about how it sounds in your system. All the best, Nonoise

And if you're ever thinking of selling your pre, please let me know. If you have the time, please email me off-line. I'd like to know your thoughts on the change from the Essence to the Summits. I'd entertain making that move, but my listening room is smallish and not sure it would do justice to the Summits.
