Your insight on a CDP purchase

I am trying to decide on a new CD player. It has come down to a new ModWright 999ES with Platinum Signature mods @ $2600 (includes player) or a used Prima 24/192 Mk II CD player at $1400. The rest of my system:

AES Six Pac Tube Mono’s (EL34’s)
Belles 21A tube pre with Auricap upgrade
Merlin TSM-MX monitors
Cabling is TG Audio and Cardas GR

I initially wanted the ModWright but am now thinking about the additional $1200 cost over the Prima, not to mention the instant depreciation. On the other hand, I am sure the Modwright is as good as it gets or close to it for a decent price. Or does the Prima come close to the Modwright? There have been a couple threads/comments on the Modwright/Prima but any additional insight would be appreciated. I am not going to be upgrading the rest of my system (I don’t think) any time soon.

Thnx,

Thank you everyone, I followed through on my intended purchase of the Modwright 999ES. Got cold feet for a second. Boy, that Prima is at an attractive price though.

Now, the big dilemma. How do I respond to the question:

"YOU BOUGHT WHAT FOR HOW MUCH!!!???" :>(
