you could buy both of the "inferior amps" retube them and upgrade speakers and have two killer sounding amps with money left over for a new guitar.

Then put 20 people (not pro musicians although they might have trouble too) in a room and have someone play the same guitar setup through all 3 amps and see how many can pick the boutique amp...would be interesting...
