My advice is buy what sounds good to you. Who cares what's inside it or how it's built? If it meets your heeds, use it.
Hype is all about whose dick is biggest, not how the unit meets your need.

C'mon Winnie, tell us what'cha really think.
Yeah, back the late 50's, early 60's, no one knew or cared squat about amps. Tube blew on a Deluxe? Down to the corner drug store and buy another - no thoughts about value matching or biasing - and we still had a ton o' fun playing and no one in our audience could o' cared less ... same for yer audience today. We're the only ones obsessing over this thing called "tone".
That said, gimme the PTP amp over PCB, every time, for the reasons I've already stated.
