Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp


I'm thinking of getting an Audio Research preamp and considering either the ARC LS-16 Mk2 or the LS-17 tube preamp. Is the LS-17 worth the extra money (several hundred US dollars) over the LS-16 Mk2? Thanks for the input.

Hello-
Just as a further note.
You could go to the arcdb site and take a look at the pictures of the internal layout. It is different, not to mention the LS-16 has balanced inputs and outputs.
