Allnic, Herron or Tavish choice?

I have a dilemma on which would suit me best. All of them are not cheap dates :O, but all are about the same ballpark pricewise -/+. I run 2 tables, Technics SP-15's side-by-side. The rest of my system is a Krell PAM3 preamp, Krell KSA 10 and Acoustat model 3 electrostats. One table has a .3mv AT33PTGII (MC) and the other, I use a bunch of different MM coils in the 3.5-5 mv range. I want to be able to simply switch between tables without changing things.I prefer via the front of the preamp. What do you think is the best choice of those 3 in the title? Oh, other phono preamps are welcome to throw into the mix as well.

The Chinook qualifies based on an output impedance of "91 ohms", per the factory.  However, it only affords one pair of phono inputs.  You probably need to think about a solid state phono stage to work well with the Krell.

Or tube phono stages with output impedance <1000 ohms. The lower, the better.

I know this is a step down from the 3 mentioned, but what about this one?

I tried to call Tavish many different times........during "business" hours. I also left a call-back message. That was a week ago. They do not answer the phone or return calls. I guess they do not want to be bothered. I will look elsewhere then.
