Aavik U150 vs. Gryphon Diablo-300 vs. whatever ???


Anyone have history with Aavik U150 or U300?  Was searching RMAF yesterday for an integrated as a path to simplify for a smaller space.  The U150 w/ DAC peaked my interest but thought I would get input before searching out a dealer.  This will hopefully (yes I have said that before) be the one I retire with so must be excellent and long lasting / trouble free.

I was at RMAF and when I was there in Day-1 they were using the U150 and said that the "big boy" was on a lost an a pallet in transit.
I knew I should have circled back to that room on Day-2 Ugh.  Oh well the U15 is where my interest lies since I do not need the phone stage.  So, at 80% of the U300 where in your mind would it rank against the available competition?
Thinking about this comparisons in relation to the Diablo 300 there is a question.

Is there anything out there in the $16K price range, being separates or integrates, that can beat the Diablo 300?
