Wait for the Ref 160 SE, which will come out as soon as sales of the original drop off. It will make the non-SE original sound broken. Actually, it probably will be ;-).
I hate biasing!
I have owned the Audio Research Reference 75 for close to a year now and do not foresee it leaving the system anytime soon. BUT...I am continually challenged by lining up the biasing stick with the screw associated with biasing each side each side of the amp...If you own this amp would appreciate any shortcuts you have found which streamlines the time it takes to correctly position into the screw.
Thanks
