Blue Circle 21.1 vs Eastern Electric Minimax

Seems there are plenty of fans in each of these camps, just wanted to hear the pros and cons. Am looking for an inexpensive but high-performing tube pre that is close to neutral but still provides a bit of tube magic, and these two have made it to my short list.
BTW, the BC I am looking at is with remote, not Shallco... is there convincing argument that Shallco is noticeably better? And I know Minimax is not remote, but it is cheaper.

$25?! That SOB gouged me for $50! And I didn't get no tabloid pics neither. I gotta' bone to pick with you Dean! Yeah, OK, it was worth it. I laughed. I cried. I am a better man for having read it. My sex life has improved, and my stool is a bit more firm and consistently floats to the top of the bowl. Thanks Dean!

Gunbei did an excellent review of these two pre's. I don't know if his was a 21 or 21.1? He's being shy about posting it here. Perhaps your question will prompt the green man to quit horsin' around with Pokey and get on the stick! Cumon' Dean, after all that effort in listening and writing you should really share your thoughts here. In a nutshell, I can tell you that he liked the.....nah, I won't ruin it for him...you'll just have to hear it from the bendy green guy himself. He even throws in a BAT VK30i to make things interesting too.

It's all about you Dean....
