Cary fans, advice on CD player/preamp options...

I'm considering the following:
1) Replacing my SLP-2002 with a Cary SLP-05; or
2) Replacing my SLP-2002 with an SLP-03, and my 306/200 with a 306SACD.
I have heard the SLP-05 in my system, but not the SLP-03 or the 306SACD (though I have heard the 306SACD in another system). If it is not obvious by now, I love the Cary sound. I am wondering if the 05 improvement over the 03 is more substantial than the 306SACD improvement over the 306/200. I own very few SACDs, so that is not a major factor at this point.
Any thoughts?
