Molecular 50 vs Bogner Helios Eclipse 100

[Detroit ABA]

I am considering moving my Molecular 50 in favor of looking for a Bogner Helios Eclipse. I am thinking the Helios Eclipse would give me more flavors in terms of both Plexi & JCM 800 vs the Molecular 50? I have watched videos and read the Helios manual but I always like to get input from this group as well. Thanks in advance.

I like the Molecular but I felt like it was like a bit darker version of an 800. I haven't tried the Helios but if you like the Molecular I would recommend hanging on to it. I always run into a "grass is greener" kinda thing. I have a friend who had the Helios and he hated it and moved it in favor of a small box. I don't have a lot of trust in his taste though.

Also Ceriatone also just came out with a JCM51 which is an amp with an 800 channel plus a plexi channel that is footswitchable. Having owned a couple plexi and a couple 800's I would have no problem ordering one without seeing a demo.
