Comparing two integrated's...

I just purchased a pair on Spendor A6's to go in my main room (23'x19'). My electronic are a PS Audio PerfectWave Transport and DAC driving a PS Audio Trio 100 watt class D amp. I want to replace the Trio with an integratd amp of at least 100 watts. My three prime candidates are...

Primare I30
Musical Fidelity M6i
Creek Destiny

The Primare is probably my first choice based on reading (I'm hundreds of miles from any dealers). It recently won a group test in Hi Fi news and I'm convinced its the one to buy. There are no reviews on the Musical Fidelity M6i yet, but I feel this 200 watt integrated may do better with my room size. Has anyone listened to the M6i. I'm curious if it can match the Primare sonically. As always, your views and opinions are welcome.

I haven't heard the MF integrated.

I really want to like Primare, but I just can't get into it. It does everything very well, but it just sounds way too cool and distant to my ears. Not cold and harsh.

Creek sounds more forward, up front, and warmer. I like it's presentation far better, but that's a preference thing.

I haven't heard the PS DAC, so I'm not sure about system synergy.
