mephisto IIX or ayre cx7-e

Being about $1000 more, I am tempted to go with the mephisto cuz it looks nice. Anyone with experience to dissuade in terms of sound quality. The ayre cx7-e did seem to win all of the 2003 awards.

I recently purchased the Ayre CX-7e to match my Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp. I am using ProAc 2.5 speakers. The CD Player is still breaking in (takes 100+ hours) but my system sounds very good to my ears. I suggest you listen to the Ayre CX-7e CD player.
