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.

Viridian as you can see in this thread a BH Seduction will cost $400-$500.

I doubt you will find anything to beat the bottle head at this price point.

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.
