Which used Merlin VSM offers best bang for buck??

One can always send them back but wondering which series either MM or spending more for MX would make more sense.Super Bam I assume a must but the MXe is pretty pricey.I know it's like the 911 which is same rear wheel flat six but a C4 is bit different than a 1975 Carrera.Any Merlin owners want to chirp in?

You're kidding right? Just get the one you can afford- you can't *go* wrong...

Here's more "talk-soup" to wade through. According the "Head Magician" or the "Grand Puba"(if you grew up watching the "Flintsones"),the TSM-MMe/MXe sounds better than the VSM-SE/Millenium and the MX. There are some for sale as I write this.

Of course you can return used MXs w/BAM to factory for lead-free upgrade & SuperBAM-- or mod them yourself.

Thanks again.Bobby told me (less sarcastically) that best is best.Said that used MXe is way to go if I can swing it as though there is the ability to upgrade and it will improve 100% lead out of sp[eaker or Super isn't possible.Guess I would shoot for MXe but it's about $1K more than I want to spend (I want to try to limit to $3500).But I will see.have heard older models are more tube freindly and vice versa but more so that newer works with SS best.Thought maybe trying one of the revealing (though dry) Wyred amp bargains.But if I stay with my EL34 EAR than maybe SE's.We'll see.have to dump some old Krell and pair of Odeon Horns to fund it first.
Thanks guys
