The Grace m201 is $2,150. Two Grace 101s are $1,140. Other than a few obvious features like MS decoding, what is the difference. They say, "The Grace 101 uses the same fast, musical transimpedance amplifier architecture as the venerable Grace 801 and 201"... Where did the extra $1K go?

Has anyone had a chance to try the new Grace Design M201?
Opinions on performance / value?

I am a prosumer recordist sticking my toe in the sacred waters of real deal gear. I want to upgrade my fathers recording setup. He is a quite successful artist producing solo piano CDs. cocktailpiano.com

records his elegant playing on a bosendorfer 7 ft grand with a RODE nt1 a senny 421 through about a 350 ART preamp.

obviously time for a step up.

Hello
I'm looking for a good clean stereo pre, ( mostly for drums, piano ...) under 2000$ and I was thinking of one either of these: Grace 201 and Focusrite Red 8
Has anyone used these and what do you think ?
thanks!
