Esoteric E-02 or SimAudio 810LP

Hey everyone
I am looking to upgrade my phono stage and both of these get stellar reviews. Has anyone compared them to each other?

I know they are both very good, and I know I could be happy with either. I own products from both companies in my system. At this level, some of us only make so many upgrades, so a sonic comparison is what I was hoping to find.

Dynamics, resolution, extension ..... it gave me all of those. I expect to hold on to this phono stage for at least a decade. So, I am very very happy with it.
