Yes- I have compared them both extensively- the Eclipse was superior to me if I had to live with one of he two. The CD3 MKII had better 'jump' factor, but was not as relaxing to listen to, and actually I found it fatiguing after a while, with a bit of an 'edge' to it. The other panelists agreed. The Eclipse also has excellent bass, and very good detail retrieval- in fact I prefer it in a tube-based system like you have, where it mates well due to it's 'non-tubey' neutrality...
