I bumped this thread and wound up buying a LS25 MkII for $2500, which I like pretty well (the twist&hold knobs are not the most wonderful ergonomic experience).
The sound is pretty good - how good I am not prepared to say without more extensive listening tests, except that it does seem to beat the Shiit out of the Shiit passive pass-thru attenuator thing they make. I may be able to A/B it vs. a Sonic Frontiers Line One later on.
Mine did come with Infinicaps BTW.
