Luxman vs. Accuphase

I'm looking for a solid state integrated amp to run a "2nd system" (my 1st system is Dynaco PAS, Phase Linear 400, and JBL L112s).

The integrated will either be driving Dynaco A25s or JBL Aquarius speakers (my McIntosh MA5100 will be driving the other pair for a "3rd system"- my wife is a saint and bites her lip at each new addition.)

I'm looking at either the Accuphase E202 or the Luxman L450 (or L480). I've had some experience with Accuphase and have always been very impressed. I've heard lots of good things about Luxman, though, but have never personally given any of its products a listen.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Rod,
I still have my Luxman 450 ( and matching tuner) from my high school days. That piece spoiled my ears for anything the local federated group, etc was selling. I still have it in my garage and it is always musical and sweet sounding. And yes the binding posts pretty much only accept bare wire
