Quicksilver Remote Pre (6DJ8) & Cary SLP-88 ... Need Opinions

I'm debating between these two preamps. What are your experiences and thoughts (sound quality, build quality, etc.). The Quickie is much newer but the Cary is a 6SN7 (for better or worse considering prices of NOS tubes, not that 6DJ8 are any cheaper)...

I'm running a pair of subs off the tape outs (converted to a 2nd set of pre outs) on my QS (12AT7).
Its a zippy sounding preamp, definitely not tubey. The "tubiest" I was able to get was a pair of Philips 7062 replacing the junk stock tubes.
Undecided on whether or not I'm keeping it. Its decent if unremarkable.
