Hi Peter,
I had a 250 for a decade, then moved to a Naim 4 box system. The 250 is a very good one box solution and the phono stage is excellent. For what it does I still don't think there's better. A 250 PRO is one box but 2 x 220 is two, so I agree a 250 is what you want. There are some good deals about in used Devialet. FYI I had to get an external phono stage for my Naim NSC222 as the built in MM phono stage was very much inferior to the one in the D250.
