Arcam FMJ CD17 or Rega Apollo

What are the opinions on these two players? I am replacing my existing unit and considering one of these units used as I primarily listen to vinyl. I have read some reviews but they are a fair age now. Thanks

Can't speak to your player, but I have a 2 year old FMJ-A39 integrated amp. My first piece of Arcam gear & love it, great build and sound quality.

I've had a few Arcam cdplayers, Alphas and Divas, never an FMJ, but I liked the sound of the Arcams, over the Regas, at my local dealer's shop. Never heard the Apollo.

Based on my history with the marques, I'd go with the Arcam, but, as always, empiricism triumphs.
