Question regarding balanced ICs from Otari MX5050-BII2 to tube preamp

I have acquired a MX-5050BII-2 which has balanced interconnects. My first usage will be to connect to the Bottlehead FPIII. Later, I may/will tap into the heads and go to a modified Bottlehead Seduction ahead of the FPIII.

The Otari manual says no differences will be noticed whether I use balanced ICs or wire the XLR connector in an unbalanced fashion. The manual shows how to do this.

My question is should I proceed with this approach or invest in Jensen transformers for the XLR/RCA interface?

Thanks in Advance,
Gary
