I own a Mk2 Model Prima and a Xindak SCD-2 which is an SACD Player.
I have kept the Prima because it is superior to the Xindak on Redbook and sometimes so close to SACD comparing SACD Layer to Redbook layer in a hybrid CD that you have to wonder.
Thankfully I payed the paltry sum of $700 for the Xindak and for that money it is great and now I have the flexibility to purchase either Redbook or SACD.
Probably the one place where SACD shows it's mettle is with Classical recordings. Here there is beautiful naturalness that Redbook just can't match.
