Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series?

There seem to be about 5 of each available on Audiogon right now for about $3k +/- $300. I can maybe stretch my budget and lay my hands on cash in few days. In the mean time, I need to decide which type is likely to sound better. I am running a hodge-podge system made from a few 'over achievers' and a lot of attention to detail. Amps are 600w D-Sonic and the preamp is a W4S STP buffered passive. Speakers are 6.1 Genesis and most of my cabling is from Kaplan or his new Waevform Fidelity. I have no chance to audition either model as the Milwaukee area is kind of an audiophile dessert, and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has.

Thank you very much,...it's what they do for the music, energy and realism of what I hear that I like the most. Let me know of any more specific questions on these and others I've tried (Audioquest SKYs, Volcano, Eagle Eye, Raven, etc...years ago, Tara Labs 0.8 HFX and 0.5 HFX a few years ago and other brands). I'll be glad to help.
