ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE

Just curious has anyone owned these preamps and how would you compare them? I currently own a VK31SE and find it is a very nice sounding unit but a short time ago purchased a ARC REF 110 amp.  I am sure most would think the ARC is a better match with the 110 however, looking for anyone with experience or an opinion of these preamps. Thank you in advance.

I've owned the LS26 and I agree with @big_greg in that it's not a "tubey" preamp.  It's very close to a good SS preamp with a hint of tube warmth.  In my experience I was able to get very similar results from a Levinson 326S.

Can't speak to the BAT or LS27.
