plinius vs perreaux integrateds


Anyone had a chance tohear both the Plinius and Perreaux integrateds? I have heard both Plinius integrateds but I have not heard the 160e or the 200i from Perreaux. I like the plinius sound but would like more inputs, source selection on the remotek, and don't need phono. How do the amps sound different? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I did find some info but much of it is about older Perreaux products and I found very little about the comparison of the integrateds.
Thanks for the feedback. I have talked with John and he is directing me toward the Perreaux 200i. Given your descriptions, I might prefer the Plinius even though it is slightly less user friendly. This reminds me of an ongoing debate I have with a friend about which is better, the Belles 150a Hotrod or the Marsh a200 amp. We more or less agree on how they both sound but he likes the Belles and I like the Marsh. He says the Belles is more musical and conveys more emotion. I think the Marsh is mor neutral, gives you more information, and sounds more real. I guess it all comes down to taste in the end.
