Which of these preamps should I get?

I'm currently considering the final item of my Stereo System, a pre-amplifier. My system is currently comprised by a pair of Dynaudio Audience 120, a Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier, a Rotel RCD-02 CD Player, and a JBL S120PII Subwoofer.

My possible choices of preamp are the McCormack TLC-1 and the Rotel RC-1070. While the Rotel maybe a better match for my system, the McCormack is an acclaimed preamp, and it would come faster and cheaper for me, as I'd have to import the Rotel (living in Brazil). So, should I go with the used McCormack, or get a Rotel from US?

Please post your thoughts on this,

thanks

Oh yea, I decided for the Mccormack pre-amplifier already. Now, reading reviews, I'm kind of tempted to opt out of my Rotel RB-1070 and migrate to another amplifier. I'm considering the Mccormack DNA 0.5 and the Acurus A250. The Acurus is very powerful, and the Mccormack seems to shine on audio quality and refinement. Both are within my price range. Which of these would you choose, and would you upgrade from the Rotel?

Thank you all for the kind support.

What do you guys think about the Acurus amplifiers? A250?

I'm considering buying the Mccormack DNA 0.5, but the A250 for $100 less would give me more power. Or would I lose too much quality?
