I own the Sim I-5. I thought about getting an 8200 for the phono stage and more power but after a side by side comparison, I decided not to. The plinius seems to have a gap between the mids and highs. It can be a little hot on the top end. Looks are important to me also, so the Sim wins that too.
I'm running the sim with the Totem Forests and Resolution Audio seperates for the front end. The combo throws a huge sound stage.
