Classe SSP-300, Rotel RSP-1098, Lexicon MC-8, Best

If I where to upgrade (subjective opinion) from Denon AVR-5803 receiver to pre/processor such as Classe SSP-300 or Lexicon MC-8, Rotel RSP-1098, Primare or BK what is the upside &[downside]? Such as Lexicon; no audio outputs!
I prefer balanced outs to run 5.1, but find $2K+ premium from Classe & Lexicon to be overpriced. Any comments on sound quality for regular stereo playback [24/192 & analogue] & DVD-A analogue? Real world experience please.
Thanks (Using B&W 802 & SCM for surrounds + KEF 107.2 & Mono-block Denon amps + old Denon class A amp for main)

I have a RSP-1098 with a Rotel RB-1080 powering a pair of N802's with a RB -1075 powering SCM-1 surrounds. I love my 1098 and for the price I think nothing out there can touch it.
Only thing I am thinking of changing on my system is the RB-1080 but people are telling me that I will not be able to tell much difference even if I upgrade to a RB-1090.

Thanks,
Dave
