Makes sense. I imagine the difference in price is analogous too.
Do you know what’s actually wrong with the Arcam?

In the main one, a single capacitor at first glance. And where it sits in the wiring diagram makes sense for that to be the sole issue.
The power one, not yet. I need to take it out the shell and inspect more the find the issue.
I bought a new toy, an ESR meter. Always good to get new toys.

Pretty evident when I opened up the p85 and got the board out.
On a google, this is a know failure point. The resistor in the sanken transistor goes.

Motivation to get my arcam repaird sooner.
I think I'll do it myself, should be able to source parts. And I found a wiring diagram. Also finding someone appears to be impossible.
That thing is functional, but it's like eating a pasta you made at home, versus one in Bologna.
