don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se

These are two highly regarded pre-amps at modst prices, has anyone compared them? if so, how do they differ and how would you describe there sound?

He speaks very highly of the preamp from what I've read.

And the lack of cmmentary means they don't rate highly compared to maintstream manufactures?
