Anyone contrast Transfiguration with Allaerts?

Has anyone auditioned both brands in their system? I'd appreciate any insight into the similarity/difference? Are they in the same league?

The MC stage includes a SUT and then an active stage driven by ECC83 tubes. I can't change the impedance on the TRON myself, but I know Graham Tricker builds them to order. I can find out if you wish, but it'll take a few days as I'm just going off on leave with my family for a few days. Charlie
