Well i have a stiletto and think its a fine amp, but not "series 2" is out or coming out. Ive had the mesa for about 4 months. Its not that it sounds bad, it sounds fine, its just that when an amp company keep "upgrading" an amp (like yearly) you feel as though u got a rushed product. It also makes you not wanna ever buy anything new from the company and buy used stuff thats been through its steps. They also changed the road king, and other products and well, lets just hope its a another blackface to silverface in the making!

my 2 cents.
