I wish I had heard either one of your prospective amps so that I could give you a good answer. I have heard the JM Utopia on many amps, and tubes were always on my favored list.
If I had to guess, I would think the Accuphase would be more tube like of the two, but this is just an assumption based on hearing other models of Accuphase amps, preamps and CD players.
As expensive as your system is I would shoot for what made you happy long term. Difficult to do without trying either or both of these in your home.
