Mac C2300 vs Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea?

I currently have an Aesthetix Calypso line stage and Rhea Phone stage for my system (Infinity RS !B's/Mac 275's (2)/TWR Raven AC-Triplaner-Dynavector VS1s) and love the sound. I truly love my Aesthetix but am curious about the Mac C2300 pre amp. The idea of one component rather then two is appealing and ohhhh those Mac blue meters!
I plan to borough a C2300 but I'd be interested to hear form anyone other there would has anything to say about the Mac, Aesthetix and thing my thought are sensible or I'm just out of my mind.

Thanks Rick

Thanks Mtdking for your honesty and openness. Just to let you know I do not use balanced cables in my current system. Only RCA.

These are all good comments...keep them coming! Yes, I love the blue lights on the Mac's, they're very stunning. Although I didn't succumb to the blue light only when I purchased my Mac amps....the MC275's are bare bones. No light at all!

The other reason I am thinking about the Mac C2300 is the real estate. Less room with the Mac vs the Aesthetix.

Keep 'em coming!!!
