Alana line stage by Gill Audio Design

I am looking for feedback. This piece is actually manufactured and distributed by Art Audio USA. It does seem like an intelligent albeit minimalist approach to design for those of us who don't need or want to pay for the features of a Rowland (for whom I have the highest regard) for example: Class A triode with only 3 inputs and a remote control (no tape monitor capability or balance control) for gain and input selection. It is my understanding that it can be ordered with either single ended or balanced connections and low/high gain versions. I am also considering Supratek's Cortese or First Sound Presence Deluxe. The system is Avalon, Accuphase and Nordost and looking at a tube design to complement solid state amplification.
