I also own an Arcam FMJ CD23. I've owned a bunch of CD players over the yrs and I think The 23 to be one of those rare pieces of equipment; a keeper. It's one of the best redbook players ever made, period. Regardless what you wind up with, you should consider keeping the unit, they rarely show up for sale and you very possibly might suffer from seller's remorse! Besides, I'm hoping you'll follow up on this thread with a comparison between the Oppo and the Arcam. I own an older Oppo and there's no doubt they make good gear.
