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!

I own the C 326 BEE and think it to be a quality integrated and provides more power than the 3020 I would prefer it over a refurbished 3020. As reubent asked, what price point?

It is my opinion that at $250, a good condition 326BEE is easily the better deal. If later you decide you want a different amp you would be able to sell it without loss.

A refurbished 3020 would certainly be flippable, depending on the 'strike price'. A 326BEE in good condition would also be an easy sell at $250. They are running ~$350 used now.
