Phono Stages with External Power Supplies...Worth It?


I basically know what phono stage I am buying (Odyssey Suspiro) but what I can't decide on is whether getting the better version with the external power supply is worth the extra money (Reference).

My current phono is MM only (Lounge LCR MKIII) so I've only ever ran MM carts but I think eventually I would like to get into MC. So how much difference can it make? for 40% more money is it that much better ($1200 vs $1950)

Fundamentally speaking, separating the processing of the weakest signal from the EMI of an AC power supply is highly desired. Go in that direction if you can.
