JUST ADD A VARIABLE ATTENUATOR ON THE OUTPUT OF THE AMP

That's a possiblity. However now I would start thinking of cost. When
you add an attenuator, GRE pre-amp, and non amplified Stridberg you
might be just as costly as buying the amplified version and not have the
extra hassles....

Also remember the GRE preamp probably has a higher noise figure than the
amplified version of the Stridsberg.
