The Balanced Thing is a big deal for me too, from experience it really makes a difference?
Fanboying too for my Ghost+ XLR cables, so any opportuninty to use them in my system as possible is a real plus.
My pre has XLR inputs as well, why not use 'em!

Low level phono signals seemed the biggest potential sufferer of "noise on the line", so the "Science Bit" makes sense to me.
yes makes sense from a belt and braces pov - there's no reason not to use balanced connection if it's available. I think in ten years or maybe less most new domestic equipment will be balanced or have the option of it.
