Meridian G08 or Linn Ikemi

Sadly the player I decided on is now painfully just out of reach and I am now looking at either a 3yr old Ikemi or a 7 month old G08 (both used here on Agon), I have done plenty of research on the two units but would like to hear any further input anyone may have on how these two players compare with the Ikemi being $700 cheaper.
Cheers
