Which ($5k SS phono to consider? (Parasound JC3+ vs ???)

Funky Bob

I'm currently auditioning Parasound JC3+ and liking what it does to my SET setup in terms of dynamics, bass control and soundstage. However, I'm not digging the styling as it looks too much like an old VCR or Laserdisc player. Also it has no adjustable gain. What other SS phonos should I consider?

Any thoughts on these:

Sutherland Duo
Pass Labs XP-17?

Thanks.
