McIntosh MC152 vs MC162


Dear Mac owners, can you give me an idea if there is any substantial sonic differences btw MC152 and MC162? Technical data of both doesn't look far apart, while price wise MC162 is twice less expensive, which makes it twice more attractive.

Thanx joekapahulu, I know about Audio Classics. Several years ago I've bought from them Mac MC275 and it was in like new condition. I used it for quite some time but due to my listening habits came to conclusion that I prefer SS power amp. I made this switch and honestly speaking quite satisfied with results, but that ansatiable audio bug of ours force me to look for smth better, and Mac SS looks like a first natural choice.
May I know what is the merits of employing dual balanced circuitry on the design of the power amp? 
MC162 is an older amp, it does not have autformers, lightweight, at half the weight of MC152.
MC152 is a current amp with autoformers, it is rated at 150W per channel but will deliver 200W. The new price is $4500, used ones, B rated, at Audio classics are listed at $3500 give and take.

No contest between the two, the MC152 wins hands down.
I would agree with the others who recommend the MC152.  Not only does it have the autoformers, it have both single ended and XLR inputs, more up to date circuitry (I believe the new generation output transistors), and would most-likely have much less mileage on it!
...not to mention the 152 has plenty of headroom. Right up there with the best of the McIntosh amps. I have one in my office rig and fully enjoy the sound. 152/C47 with 805 d3’s. Hard combo to beat in a small space.
