i owned a nighthawk and blackhawk. listened long and seriously to the osprey when a local dealer carried them.
the osprey sounded better for sure, sweeter and more holographic.
i loved the sound.
since the amps had the same basic layout, specs and tube specifications, the differences in sound came from upgraded internal parts, caps, rectifier, etc. similar to upgrade packages some amplifier makers offer. the tube brands (NOS) were also upgraded and included some expensive amperex and mullards at that time.
consider this when you decide if it is worth the additional cost to you.
