I have to say that we worked pretty hard so that there was no sweet spot, and I think we've done pretty well on that front. If there is a sweet spot, it probably has more to do with your tastes and needs than the hardware itself.
However, in pure audiophile terms, I think the Ultra Micro Stack performance is pretty outstanding for the price. The only reason to go with an Ultra Desktop as an alternative is: A) that you need/want the high quality connections; B) the money is not a problem; C) you want to buy into the Desktop line for the Desktop Audiophile System in the future.
