NAD + NCD EVH 5150iiis EL34

Probably my all time favorite amp EVER!!
I’ve owned tons of em. Sold mine cause I know others would be available. Been using the prs archon last few years. It hangs with it but a different voice. But the evh el34 100 watt stealth is the bomb
 
It sounds like I should avoid the 50W versions. Are there any big differences between the 100W Stealth and EL34 versions besides the tubes?

The EL34 100w version has a true clean channel while the 100w Stealth’s “clean” channel is only clean with the gain at about 8:00 and below.

Aside from that, the Blue and Red channel preamps are exactly the same. Having said that, the poweramp does influence the tone. Stealth is a bit more scooped, EL34 has slightly more mid push, comparatively speaking.
