It looks like the New Line 3 SE model retails for $6000, and you cen get a new regular Line 3 for about $2,700 from upscale audio, and a used one for about $2,100. I think the regular Line 3 is a much better buy. Look at the feaute set of the enhancements included in the Line 3 SE, and you'll see that they're minimal. The tubes you can replace youself - I already replaced mine with Siemens and it sounds like a dream. My advice is not to squander your money on the SE - not worth it at all. Good luck.
