Jolida 502b, Manley Stingray & VTL- I85 compare ?


I would like to find out if anyone can compare these three
integrated's on my short list. I can not listen for myself.
I want to try tubes in place of the SS that I have now.
I am using JM Labs Electra 926's with an Audio Aero Prima
CD player. I would like info on the sound as well as the
quality of the units. My room is 13'x 26'(@2700 cubic feet). I listen to classic rock, rock and contemporary blues . It is 'rock' so I like it somewhat loud!
Is the Jolida mod by Underwood a significant improvement
over stock ? I can get a used stock unit for $700 and a new
modded unit for $1549 with warranty.
Thank you in advance.

Boa2; your suggestion of the Audio Aero sounds intriuging. I wonder if it's 40 watts is enough to drive
my big floorstanders ? The sensitivity is 91 or 92. I have been told that I should have at least 100, high current,
watts to drive the Electra's.
All of the answers have been informing ! Keep'em coming.
Thank you.
