Cary SLP-98

I'm thinking of upgrading from my AES AE-3 MKII to the SLP-98. I'm currently using an Eastern Electric MiniMax phonostage. My question is this: Would I be better off getting the linestage-only version (SLP-98) or the version with MM phono stage (SLP-98P)? Would the phonostage best the MM side of my MiniMax?

I should have mentioned in the original post: I'm running a pair of AES Six-Pac amps.

For carts, I'm currently running either an Ortofon Rondo Bronze MC (.5mv) on an old LP-12, or a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM (3.6mv) on a Marantz TT. I have no complaints with the MiniMax phonostage and it's both MM/MC capable.

The SLP-98L looks a bit "naked" without the 12AX7's used in the phono-version.
