Bottlehead Seduction or Cary AE-3 phono preamp?

I'm looking to buy a tube phono preamp and am considering these two possibilities. If anyone has any insight, one way or the other, into which may work better, I appreciate the guidance. Please also feel free to recommend an alternate choice in the under $400.00 range as well.

I will be using these with a Supex SD900E+, Denon 103D, and a Denon 103 through a transformer as well as Shure V15lllhe and V15Vmr/JICO straight in.

Viridian as you can see in this thread a BH Seduction will cost $400-$500.

Get real, I am the only one that talks about price in this thread as I am looking for a phono pre under $400.00. I put this as the price point there as the more expensive Cary sells for around this price point. Seductions sell new for $389 and used for around $250.00. Here is the currentl one on the 'gon:

Maybe it's time for you to stop fortune hunting and not try to justify prices drastically above market with my thread.
