Which is better, Pepsi or Coke? Very much a matter or personal taste isn't it, same with amps, you are asking for people's opinions that may or may not coincide with you own taste, if you can't make a trip to test drive a couple amps, then you're at the mercy of someone else's opinion, and you need to take into account that it might not be an informed opinion or one based on any experience........ of course that's just my opinion.....................
