which would you choose and why?
ive played a few other ENGLS (blackmore,power/fireball) and i really liked the screamer.
ive never played a thunder.
 
I had a Thunder 50. It's pretty classically voiced, sort of like Engls take on Marshall. Really killer cleans, nice crunch, good high gain, not as scooped as the other Engls, not as high gain either. It's not as loose as a typical Marshall so it still has some of that Engl tightness. Not a bad amp at all, usually you can find them pretty cheap too.
 
^ that is exactly what i wanted to hear...because a used thunder 50 head has come up for a good price...but no chance to try it out prior purchasing.

anyone compare it to the screamer 50 tonewise (pros and cons of each style of tone eg clean/high gain lead) (not fussed feature wise)
