Hi friends,

I'd like to ask for your opinion on the selection out of the two quality modern tube preamps.
Now, the price difference between the new and the excellent is around $200.
If you were me, which would you choose?

A: brand new, unopened in box
B: excellent condition, cosmetically & functionally

If you focus on the price factor, B would be the preferred choice.
Any other factors to consider, except for the price?

Thanks much for your wise counsel, as always.
