CAT/Hovland internal phono vs external?

I currently have an Audio Research PH3 and Audible Illusions LI. Am considering a one box unit such as Hovland HP100 or Cat Ultimate. Would like to hear from those familiar with these units for their impressions of the phono stages as I listen to more vinyl than CD.

I only know the CAT. I found the line excellent, the phono above average by comparison. The latest audition was at home with a S. Yorke T4/Pluto 6/Clearaudio Discovery, S-Line RG7 amp, Gen V speakers. So, take this with a grain of salt...
Don't know how it compares to the Hovland, though.
Cheers!
