Which pre for Schoeps microphones?

[achabloops]

Hi guys,
finally I made the jump and now I have two Schoeps (mk4 and mk21) for recording my next classical solo piano recital (Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Wagner/Liszt).
I'll try the NOS technique using the mk4 on treble and mk21 on bass.
A/D conversion using my brand new Motu Traveler.
The weak component in my setup is preamplification (I'd like something very clean, transparent and detailed): I could use the preamps on the Traveler, or my Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro, or Aphex 207 or finally M-Audio Duo (from what I read, the preamps on this unit are DMP3, but I'm not sure). Next year I'll upgrade to Millennia, but in the meantime that is all I have.
Which one of the above would you choose for such a critic situation and in combination with Schoeps microphones?
Thank you

I'd probably try the Aphex 207.

I've used a lot of pres and the one I want to record "legit" with is the Great River MP-2NV.

I have a Schoeps mk41 pair. They sound very good through my Mackie VLZ pre's though that's not a pre I use often. Haven't used them w/the other pre's mentioned. They don't seem to be finicky about what pre is used - they always sound good.
