Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp

I recently upgraded to a VPI Classic One turntable with a Lyra Delos cartridge.I am using a Belles 20A phono pre- amp that I have been very happy with but now that I've upgraded the turntable I would like to upgrade the phono pre-amp.I read some nice reviews of the Manley Chinook and was wondering if this would be a significant improvement.

I don't make Herron Audio VTPH-2 phono stages, but they sure sound good to my ears. I used a VTPH-1mc with a Clavis da Capo and was very pleased with the music it provided.

Thanks Bpoletti,
The person I bought my Belles from had upgraded to the Herron VTPH-2 and said it was fantastic.I want this to be the last phono pre I buy so I want to make sure I make the right choice. After doing some research on the Herron I think I might prefer this over the Manley even though it is more money then I wanted to spend.Hopefully I will get more responses to help me with my decision.A big thanks for suggesting the Herron.
