Actually, I've sold both in the past. I think the Aragon isn't that extended actually. The McCormack is slighly better IMO for most applications. and is more neutral sounding for your otherwise "warmish sounding" Studio 100's!
Also, don't waste your time with the Adcome 750(suggestion). It's hightly over rated and mis-classed!(more like "Class C" in my experience from selling it/using it!!!
There are many better chioces for the same money. If you're going to do "passive/pure" preamp chioces, finding an old Pass Aleph L/P is much better! It's got no dynamic "pick-up" like any passive, so you'll have to judge your mix. Otherwise, there are a lot of very good potential tube pre's out there that might give you the sound you need. good luck
