Both are worthy products. However I very carefully evaluated and listened to the Audio Refinement Complete, MF A3, Marantz pm-17, NAD 317 and a friends Classe'. The Audio refinement Complete had better sound, more detail, rythym and pacing, timbre than the others in my system. The Audio Refinement controls and build quality are wonderful too. For a relatively low cost integrated you get to cross into the high end! I use psb stratus gold i speakers by the way. Yiu will not be disappointed with Audio refinement. Good Luck.
