don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se

These are two highly regarded pre-amps at modst prices, has anyone compared them? if so, how do they differ and how would you describe there sound?

And the lack of cmmentary means they don't rate highly compared to maintstream manufactures?

At $800.00 you really aren't taking much of a chance. If you don't like it, you will sell it on Agon very quickly. I would be against that though.
