Upgrade from Adcom GFP-750?

Having recently added a Bryston 9BSST, I'm thinking about upgrading from my Stan Warren modified Adcom GFP-750. I've been pleased with my Adcom's sound, flexibility and reliability, and I think I'll be even more pleased when the modified unit arrives. But I'm wondering if and how much better I could do within my budget (~$1500, used). I'd prefer to stay with SS. The main contenders are the BAT VK-20, Bryston BP25, and Conrad-Johnson PFR. Would any of these, or others not on my short list, represent a significant upgrade in sound quality? I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Adcom GFP-750
Bryston 9BSST

Lmack,why not try tubes? I recently tried a tube preamp to mate with the 4Bst and found the sound quality amazing. Tube preamps let you fine tune or critque the sound that you are looking for by interchanging tubes or tube rolling as some might say. Dont discount tubes to give your amp exceptional upstream data.
