PASS LABS XP-22 vs. XP-12

Hi,

I recently acquired pass labs monoblocks 260.8 and am using a pass labs xp-17 phono preamplifier.  I am using Harbeth 40.2 speakers. 

 I am currently auditioning the pass labs xp-12 preamp and like it but wondering if should ask reno hifi to demo the xp-22.  I am only using the turntable on the linestage although perhaps will add digital to it at some point.  

If anyone has heard both would be interested especially in their opinion.

I could get a non Pass preamp but would cost me about $1000 in package deal value from reno hifi so for now gonna stick to an all pass system......

Purchased the X250.8 a while ago, then picked up the XP-12, very happy with these choices but now pondering either upgrade to XP-22 or would love to upgrade my phono section to a XP-17. Would also love a Marantz SA-10 although I have a great DAC already.
 So many choices but not enough coin to go around.Leaning towards the XP-17 now that the XP-12 would do the phono section justice.
