Bwp,
The Modwright was on my short list too, and was the only non-6SN7 preamp I considered. My other favorite was the Cary SLP-98. I need at least 4 inputs so that ruled out the AES and a couple others. In the end, I got such a great deal on the Cyber 222 that I couldn't pass it up.
An Audiogoner who had owned both the Cyber and the Cary said they were very similar, with the Cary being just slightly darker. Their circuits are very close, but the Cyber is significantly less expensive.
