Classe SSP-30 vs. used Lex MC-1

Has anyone compared these 2? I'm shopping in the $3000 range and could use some advice. Focus will be movies but I'm not willing to sacrifice on the music side. The Lex processing is attractive, but I really like the multi zone and analog bypass features of the Classe.
I'm not afraid of used gear, but naturally would like to have something brand new.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or recommendations on other makes/models? Thanks in advance, Bob

I have the Classe SSP-30 and the pre-amp section sounds better than my stand alone pre-amp! I'm a happy camper.

no contest...if overall sonics are more important for both movies and 2 channel purity, then the Classe is definitely the supperior unit!!!...
....one caveat however, the lex has bsss management adjustability beyond the classe, which can maximize your speaker/sub set up better for movies!!! The guy who recommended the Aragon Soundstage has a point about his recommendation on this. The Soundstage also has Advanced Bass management (or adjustable crossover points!). However, if your sticking between Lex and the Classe, in the end, if sonics are your priority, then I'd alway's chose the Classe!!!..
