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?

I have the LS 100, I use an Audio Art Cable Power1 eplus cryo power cord on it. I also use a NOS 5AR4 rectifier and Sophia Electric 6SN7s; both take SQ up versus the stock tubes.

@gte357s  - I have the LS100  are you using the stock supplied  6SN7s and rectifier?  I have found swapping in either Sophia Electric or NOS Sylvania 6SN7s and a NOS Phillips or Mullard 5AR4 improved  the musicality of the preamp

I also use a Mojo Evo (base model) with my LS100. I had been using Silnote Audio Orion RCAs between the 2, now using Acoustic BBQ Double Helix which is a dyi cable made by a member. Both cables are very good.
