Has anyone done a straight A/B between the new Vibro Champ XD and an original BF/SF Champ? I have a MicroCube and SF Champ (with Weber 8F125, sounds huge) in my home office/practice room, and I was looking at the VCXD to replace them both, hoping for the best of both worlds. The SF is just too loud for home use, so it never gets played, but I plugged in my new custom Thinline Nocaster the other day while my wife was out, added some Holy Grail Reverb, turned it up half way and immediately began questioning the sanity of buying the new digital version.

I'll never sell the SF, but I know if I got the VCXD it would languish in a closet, which is already making me feel guilty cuz it's such a little tone monster....
