Neve Portico or A-Designs MP2???

I'm looking at getting a Neve Portico or A-Designs MP2 don't know which one I shoud spring for. It will be used mostly for Female vocals. Are they differant enough to get both? How would one discribe the sound of the MP2 vs the Portico?

Right now my go-to pre is a M-Audio Tampa.

I haven't heard the Portico, but I got an MP2 recently and it is sublime. It has been fantastic for male vocals (haven't used it for female vocals yet but I'm sure it will shine) and a surprisingly excellent bass DI.

It also LOOKS great.

I doubt many people here have A/B'd the two but the MP2 is great for vocals. It's my current go-to for that application up against API, Daking, Calrec, Vintech, Avalon etc.

It's an "R" not a regular MP-2
