Bottlehead Seduction or Cary AE-3 phono preamp?


I'm looking to buy a tube phono preamp and am considering these two possibilities. If anyone has any insight, one way or the other, into which may work better, I appreciate the guidance. Please also feel free to recommend an alternate choice in the under $400.00 range as well.

I will be using these with a Supex SD900E+, Denon 103D, and a Denon 103 through a transformer as well as Shure V15lllhe and V15Vmr/JICO straight in.

How is the new JICO stylus for the Shure V15VMR? Is it as good sounding as the original? Thanks, Ray
I don't have any experience with the Cary gear, but the Bottlehead Seduction is great, especially when maxed out with the various upgrades. If you're handy with a soldering iron and like to tinker, the Bottlehead community is the one of the best.
