Pre pro-go balanced or not nad v. Onkyo


I have a bryson 9B multi channel amp which i believe is "true balanced."  I am in the market for a new pre pro to replace my AVR.  Is there any REAL benefit to going balanced with the pre pro?  The set up does NOT involve long runs of cable and frankly use of RCA's will probably be make both the amp and pre and easier install depthwise inside my cabinet.

RE pre pro choices: The onyko 5508 has balanced and Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 while the NAD T187 uses AUDYSSEY MULTEQ XT.  All in all historically id prefer the NAD due to looks simplicity and historic like of NAD sound.  However, the onkyo offers balanced and the more advanced adyssey.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks everyone for the responses. Elizabeth im not sure what is the basis of your statement that the bryston is NOT balanced. Im pretty sure runs Discrete Class A operational. Thus the question i guess is, is whether the onkyo 5508 is actually balanced as to take advantage of this input.
