NAD 3020 or C326BEE Integrated? Help me choose.

I have the opportunity to buy a restored/serviced 3020 in excellent condition or a like new 326BEE amplifier for essentially the same $$$.  I have a set of Klipsch RB-61 speakers and an Onkyo C-7030 CD player.  

Which would you choose and why?


Thank you for your input!

Both can be had at about the $250 price point.

I am still torn.  My thinking is if I can get the 3020 at my strike price, I will try it knowing that a mint condition restored example is easily flippable.  If i can't get it at the price I want, I will go with the 326BEE and pay a little more for it if needed.

Purchased the 3020.  Couldn't pass up a mint example that had been completely restored, recapped and serviced.  

Are there any special instructions regarding warm up etc. with a vintage amp like this?  I have never owned anything this old.  Also, I assume I should turn off each time I use instead of leaving on all the time?

Thank you all!
