Spectral DMC 20 Series 2 vs, Spectral DMC 30 SL?

Any insights on these preamplifiers? Some comments made that the older spectral DMC 20 Series 2 is even better in some aspects??
thanks

The DMC 15 was the better choice. The 15 is in a different league! There was no debate. It was evident immediately. Both preamps had been on for 24 hrs. From what I have been told the new 30's sound even better.
