Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95

Anyone got a chance to compare modded xa5400 and Oppo 95 units? How would you define the overall sound character of the two? I am using Merlin speakers with ARS filarmonia amplifier. I like to listen Jazz and Classical mainly. Would like to have a great resolution, vocal clarity, focused sound stage and full bodied presentation (..of Piano and string instruments).
Not looking for comparison between stock and modded units.
Please help me decide between the two. Thanks.

i've listened to ge, rca (brown base), several sylvanias, gold
aero and tung sol. they all provide a slightly different presentation--especially, resolution and frequency response and tonality.

my favorite is the rca because of its richness. the brimar is most balanced, in that it is on the neutral side, with a slight touch of warmth. it certainly provides enough detail, without emphasizng the treble.

i would like to hear a mullard someday.
