Tube preamp


I'm currently using a Dared SL2000A preamp to feed my audiosector gainclone solid state amp. I really love the this hybrid setup, but I've been getting the upgrade bug lately and I think that the Dared is the weakest link in the system and am looking to upgrade to better tube preamp under $1500 used or new. Right now the contenders are:

Rogue 99
quicksilver linestage
aes ae-3 mkii
mapletree

any other suggestions?

I am leaning towards the quicksilver 12AX7 version. It goes for about half the price of the rogue 99. I'm sure the 99 is better, but not $500 better. What do you guys think?
