I think you can find comprimises on either side of the fence w/this debate.
the big one that I see is you are "trapped" in a system you cant tweak outside of cables. Where as, you can always get new pres, or a new amp when you go with seperates.
Overall, I think you can get higher caliber equipment for less money with an integrated...but that is just my completely uneducated opinion pulled from the deep reaches of my arse.
For me, its all about two things.
less cables and the biggie, REMOTE!!
