My search is over!
After narrowing the list down to the Jay's and CEC transports, I came across a gently used Audio Note CDT2/II in great condition at the same price as the CEC, and bought it on the spot.
So, a happy ending for me: I ended up with the AN transport I wanted from the start, well within budget.
Thanks again for all the great advice and suggestions!
