Aux Input: Wired FM Modulator vs Seth's Method #1

Hi there. I recently bought a 1999 9-3 and I'll be installing an aux input to my factory head unit very soon. I've read through the various threads regarding aux inputs and I've narrowed it all down to two options: use a wired FM modulator or utilise the telephone inputs as per Seth's Method #1. Cost is not an issue as I have enough spare bits and bobs from past cars and projects to perform either modification. Obviously it is easier to just use the FM modulator, so the only real incentive for me to whip out my soldering iron is if Seth's Method promises better sound quality.
I know from past experience that the FM modulator sounds pretty good, but I know that's it's hampered by a relatively poor frequency response and signal to noise ratio. So the question is, is the telephone input any better? Has anyone done taken any measurements to determine the frequency response and/or signal to noise ratio?
Perhaps I should mention that I have a CD stacker and I do not want to perform a modification that would render it useless. Along those lines, I suppose a third option would be to hook up a source selector switch somewhere between the CD stacker and the head unit that would allow me to switch to an aux input while the CD stacker is playing. Has anyone done that?
Life would be so much easier if Denison would make a bloody CD stacker interface for my car!
Cheers,
Doug
