...is you can always go back to something you sold, often for less money than you sold it for and then when you tire of it (again), its usually not that difficult to get your money back, assuming you buy and sell sharp.
I've owned many pieces of gear multiple times ...for example the Yamaha C2a preamp. I've always liked it since I first heard it, back in '76, I think. But, at a thousand bucks there was no way for me to afford one ...so I bought a used one years later.
I eventually sold it and bought an "upgrade".
I did that a few times and have had a Meitner PA6i, Audio Research SP-9 MKII and MKIII, Counterpoint SA-3.1 and others that escape my mind at the moment.
My current preamp ...you guessed it ...a Yamaha C2a. I think its my third or fourth one.
I don't think I lost a dime along the way and may well have made a few bucks.
I still want a Threshold FET-9 someday.
My advice, keep the CJ, buy the Mc, listen to both and keep the one that floats your boat.
Best of luck.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
