CJ makes great preamps. I've had several. I haven't heard the Classic 2, but I would definitely recommend you listen to it before you make a decision. It looks very similar to the PV 10 and 12's. If its based of those designs, it may be too much of a good thing. Those preamps were a bit too forgiving, and I felt that made them a little dull sounding. As you move up the CJ line, that's not the case.
Understand, though, I'm just guessing here. I saw that no one answered your post and am just trying to give you some info that may help. I have a Premier 18 that I like very much. I know its SS but I would definitely buy it again. If you can find a good used one, I would consider it.
