Musical Design or Van Alstine for new preamp?


I am thinking of upgrading from my current AR SP9 MKII. I must admit neither of these companies make a very good looking preamp, well on the outside. I have been reading some very good things about what is inside.
I like the return policy if I try a Van Alstine.

Any thoughts or suggestions sure be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Phd, please explain tube rolling. I have the original SP-1, which still sounds good. I tried some NOS tubes, but ended up with a high-pitched noise in one of the channels. I would love to tweak this old preamp without spending an arm and a leg.
