Schoeps VSR U5 or Merging Hapi

Good Morning,



I need your advise.



I want to optimize my Stereo Recording Chain for Classic and Jazz. (I record in 44.1)



Currently I own a pair of Schoeps CMC6 with MK21, Neve Portico 5012 and a Mytek 8*192.



Since the Neve is a little to colored I want to replace him with a ultra clean high end stereo mic pre amp.





Option1:

Replacing the Mytek 8*102 with Merging HAPI (AD8DP, DA8P Cards)

5.000 Euro - 1800 Euro = 3.200 Euro



Option2:

Keeping the Mytek and buy the Schoeps VSR U5

= 3.500 Euro





Which way would you go?
