I've owned a Unison 3 Ultra integrated for about 3 months now. It does all the things I like about SS (especially bass authority/control and handling difficult loudspeaker load), yet also puts as much "flesh on the bones" as most tube equipment I've owned. An extraordinary value at its price. "Steal" the 3.1 at $1100 and ship it straightaway to CODA for the Ultra upgrade (about $900 for my Unison 3.3 which I bought used and had shipped to CODA). Mark Ward and Doug Dale at Coda both told me the Ultra upgrade is very significant. You will never want for more if the convenience of SS is for you.
