How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono

I am now using all LAMM pre/power and my LAMM dealer offers pretty good deal on the LAMM LP2 phono deluxe version for me. I understand that 5-7 years ago, it is considered one of the top phono available but have not heard much about it recently and wonder how it might stand up to the more recent phono unit such as ARC Ref2, AMR, Audio Valve, Rhea Signature or Audia Flight etc.
I plan to audition LP2 but other units will be a bit difficult to find and I may not be able to audition them all unfortunately.
Thanks for your comment

I am using this phono stage and cannot say enough about its transparency, speed, low noise and ability to strip away artifacts as noted by Syntax and to that also add its excellent bass response. There is a natural directness to the music that is a Lamm trademark, personified in the Lamm ML2 (2.1) SET amplifier, and evident in the LP2D.

Also I can vouch for its performance using an Air Tight Supreme into the MC inputs and a Koetsu Coralstone with an Auditorium Homage T1 into the mm.
