Gryphon Integrated or Seperates for $20K Pre/Power budget?

I'm wondering if an Integrated like the Gryphon Diablo 300 would make a lot of sense at my budget level, vs other options I'm looking into like the McIntosh MC462, the Pass Labs X250.8, and the Bryston 4B3 (with corresponding preamps).
How would the Diablo stack up against the other options which are separates?  I am basing my candidate components on what I can test in my area.  My speakers are B&W 803 D2's, and my room is rather large, open concept that extends to kitchen and dining room.  The ceiling is also vaulted.

Thoughts on whether to go separates vs integrated given the options above?  Thanks!

pass x350.8 + xp22 sounds great

paid $14k Sounds great - full, clear, fast, musical, clearly hear separate instruments, griping and powerful, and  sounds good with normal non-audiophile music. 

I haven't compared it to Gryphon.
