Parasound newclassic 200 pre or a Halo P 5?

Any opinions on which way to go?  A new Parasoud Newclassic 200 pre runs around just a little more than a used Parasound P5, and they both seem to have the same DAC.  The P5 looks a little more substantial and I could save a few bucks, and aesthetically is more pleasing.

I also have to echo @reubent 's sentiments. I recently had a chance to demo a Parasound A21+ with a Halo P6 preamp. I found the sound to be completely lackluster and underwhelming. 

I swapped out the P6 for another pre I had laying around the house and my system came to life. The Parasound pre had no life to it. 

I recommend you look elsewhere.
