Rotel 1068/1075 Separates or Arcam AVR350?


I have Rotel 1068 Pre/Pro and Rotel 1075 (5ch) amp. I am considering selling or trading for an Arcam AVR 350 Receiver. Would this be an upgrade? Downgrade? Laterall Move?

What I like about the Arcam AVR350 receiver is the single footprint, one power cable, don't need Interconnects from Preamp to Power amp, and I honestly think the Arcam AVR350 Receiver might sound better than the Rotel Separates.

I did an A-B test in my home once and I recall liking the 2Ch musicality, soundstage, depth and space of the Arcam better.

I welcome your input. Has anyone A-B'd the Arcam AVR350 to the Rotel Separates?

Thanks for the response Glai. Which Rotel Separates did you have? It would be great if the Arcam AVR350 bested the Rotel Separates I am using. The Arcam AVR350 receiver would simplify my system by giving me one footprint. That saves a rack space. One Power Cord, fewer interconnects. And if it sounds better, then it's a Win-Win!
