scout or new amp


i've asked for help elsewhere, so i apologize if it's repeat for some of you, but im trying to get as much feedback as possible. currently, im using a mmf-7/benz glider L2, with a grado ph-1 phono(which i really like) a nad c-370 amp and paradigm reference studio 20 v2 speakers. i'd like to upgrade, and will have about $1500-$2000 to spend. ive really been bitten hard by the scout hype, and would love to buy one. but previous feedback i've received has suggested that the improvement in my system would be much greater if i upgraded the nad, so im also looking seriously at the lfd mistral le. assuming it's either the table or the amp, what do folks here think would make the most sense?

hey thanks very much for the quick and thought out responses. would love to hear from more folks, although im pretty sure im going with amp...im thinking of solid state, and the lfd mistral le...i love the idea of tubes, or even hybrid, and the benefits with vinyl, but isn't it a real hassle as compared to the plug and play of ss, or am i missing something?

also, any other amp suggestions from vinyl lovers(particualary mmf-7 and/or paradigm users) welcome.

thanks again
