Or Buy two GAPs to MOd them? --> 730 EUR, but no warrenty anymore and work to do...

Hve you compared the portico to the modded gaps?

Best wishes,

If you can afford it always go for real Neve IMHO.
I have never tried the Portico range.

BTW I will have a 4 Ch Vintage Neve Mic Pre for sale real soon.
Using 4 x Vintage Neve 183 cards with Carnhill trannies.
2ru case, vu's, stepped gain and trim.
Hoping to keep it priced low - around AU$4000.
Which for 4 Ch's of 'real' vintage Neve will be very cool.
