Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71??

OK- buying my first ever FM tuner (and hopefully last). I have done some research, and narrowed it down to probably a vintage McIntosh tube model (looking for that tube warmth and musicality- apparently the classic Mac tube-based FM tuners are good in this regard). Anyone compared the two? (with or without 'mods'). Thanks

Great discussion all.  Related question:  I have a SAE VIb refreshed that's really great. Also running an Adcom GTP500-II.  Because it has presets, and my family is too dang lazy to wait for the SAE to warm up and then manual tune.

But the adcom sounds really flat.  What's the best option for a 2nd tuner with the requirement (handicap?) that it also has presets?
