Cambridge CD500se as good as Planet 2000??


I am building a new system, and would greatly appreciate advice.
I can get good deals on both of my prospective CD choices, the CD-500se ($300 US) and the Planet 2000 ($600 US), both of which I've heard good things about. Is the Rega noticeably better? Worth twice the price?
The rest of my system is:
Rega Mira integrated
Totem Model 1 Sig.
Kimber 4TC/ Silver Streak

I listen to some of everything, but mostly Jazz, acoustic folk/pop.

Thanks for any informed advice.

You might find an Arcam Alpha 8se or even and Alpha 9 in this price range and it is much better than either of those players.
