VTL 5.5 or Aesthetix Calypso

I am considering one of these two preamps to match up with Parasound JC1s and Magnepan 3.5s. Has anyone had a chance to hear the two? I am leaning toward the VTL as it cost less but could spend the extra $$ if the Calypso is that much better.

Sounds like the VTL should be the way to go. Anyone know if there is a significant difference between the older and newer units?
