I have to second Truman's comment's about one box, you have less clutter, less cables, etc. I just bought the Mark Levinson intergrated amp and really like having one box versus two! ...not to mention one less cable. There are more and more companies putting out integrated amps that have been dedicated to separates. I see this issue of TAS is testing a host of them this month. I haven't been able to see the MD-208 other than pictures, it looks like a beautiful peice.
