I don't know how many pre's you plan on getting. If not too many, you might want to go with the Great River for now, cancel the 610 and evaluate the Great River to see if you like it. It has nothing but rave reviews on this forum, as does the Pacifica. Then down the road see if you can try out a Pacifica. If you like it, go for it. (Nothing not to like, but I'd prefer two different good preamps if I was only going to have two channels and was not going be using a stereo pair.)
That'll keep you options open for the other great preamps out there (Fearn, Germanium, Phoenix, etc.)
You'll never regret either the Great River or the Pacifica. If your going to consider two channel options, I'd argue for the 2 channel Great River also.
Buy slowly. Don't be pressured by Sweetwater and the 12 months of credit.
Also, Sweetwater does not allow returns on some special order items (like Cranesong stuff, for instance).
