Which Tube Integrated? Rogue v. Cary v. ARC

I'm new (6 months) to this obsession, but have discovered a fondness for tubes, yet a need to keep things as simple as possible (i.e., integrated instead of separates).

There appear to be three reasonable integrated tube amps on the market: Rogue Tempest Magnum, Cary SLI-80, and the new ARC VSI-55. The latter is based on the 2002 VS-55 tube amp, and is new enough that it is not even on ARC's web site yet.

Anyone with enough experience with any of these to offer an enlightened opinion?

I no nothing about tubes as my integrated is all SS but I just got done reading again the review in Stereophile about the Unison Unico Hybrid Integrated. Seems very interesting, combines tubes and ss in one at a decent price! Maybe others who have first hand experience with this will chime in.

Regards,
