Hypothetical - CD or SACD Player?

I'd like to hear some of your sentiments please. In the $1000 to $2000 price range (new or used), would my money be better spent on a CD player or an SACD player? Assume that whether or not I already have the discs to play is not an issue. Also ignore the myriad factors necessary to make a fully informed data-driven decision. I've read all the reviews I could find, but now am just looking for some good old-fashioned opining. But please, only from those who have spent some serious time listening to both formats. Thanks.

this question cannot be answered without further input from you.

from my own experience, a vintage tube cd player is preferable to a current production sacd player. why ?

i prefer the classic tube sound, which is unattainable from any sacd player i have auditioned.
