Hi Johnny

I have the DL103 ,103R and the OC9MLII.

If it were me I'd send the 103R to Soundsmith and just grab a straight 103 to keep you going unti it gets back.
If you like the 103 series sound I think you'll find the OC9 just too lean - I sure did (mine's sitting in a box right now)

I've been tempted to try the 301 or 304 but my 103s have very low hours and I'm happy enough with the sound to bother right now

Hope this is of any value to you
