JensenTwinServo, any1? SCA J99 makes me talk like walters

Don't hear much talk about the Jensen Twin Servo around here. Mercenary's description says it is the best mic preamp ever made, for what that is worth. Anyone use one? I am curious if anyone has done a comparison to the SCA J99 preamp, which is basically a clone for the most part.

SCA J99 vs John Hardy mic pre comparison

Forums

Does anyone have an informed opinion regarding comparisons of SCA mic preamps vs John Hardy, or Great River? I realize the "bang for the buck" argument on behalf of SCA. But from a head-to-head comparison of sheer sonic quality, can you hear a difference between e.g. the SCA J99 vs the John Hardy manufactured mic preamp?
