Modwright LS100 vs The followings

I am using a Modwright LS100. I think it sounds quite good, but I am wondering how does it compared to the followings:

1) Coincident Statement Line stage
2) ARC SP10
3) Doge 8
4) Supratek Chardonnay
I listen to SP10 at my friends place, it has a huge sound stage and very holographic. But the price in the used market keeps going up. Given the current market price, I am wondering is it is better to get a current production model.

Would any of this be a significant upgrade to the Modwright LS100?

The only thing close to any of those you mentioned is an ARC LS 26.  The LS 26 is in my bedroom system, the LS 100 is in my main system.  To be fair, I've never tried the LS 26 in my main system to do an apples to apples comparison, but the LS 100 sounds so good I've never given any serious thought to replacing it. 

It would be helpful to know what the rest of your system is and what kind of sound you're looking for.  It sounds like you'd prefer something more "tubey"?

With the right speakers the LS100 is capable of everything you described and it sounds like the rest of your system is. Maybe you should look somewhere else than the preamp.
