Sebatron vmp-2000e OR A-Designs MP1

i've known the vmp's to be very clean great sounding pres.. but i've been doing some research on the mp1, and some have called it the best pre under $1000

even $850 is pushing my budget but i'm trying to get something that i won't have to upgrade from for a long time..
mics i use:
U87ai(partners)
TLM193(mine)
SE5500(on the way)

i mainly record r&b artist and hip hop artist. right now i'm tracking with the TLM193 through a Valley audio 401 mic processor.. it sounds good.. a little thin, but good.. but i know i can get better..
which of the 2 pre's would you take in my shoes..or if you have another pre in mind let me know please

There are reviews of both these pres in the RO E Mag. [="http://www.recording.org/e-mag/article_90.shtml"]Sebatron VMP 4000[/]="http://www.recordin…"]Sebatron VMP 4000[/]

I do not have any audio samples of the A Designs piece but you can hear the Sebatron in use in the Mic Pre comparisons posted in the Audio Projects Streaming page..
