It's a great question because just as you say these are in the same price range. Both use the EL34 as triodes and both use according to the manufacturers high quality transformers. I know that Decware uses Jupiter wax caps but Coincident doesn't specify what they use. The Coincident also has a headphone output which is nice.
I do like the fact that Decware offers an audition period whereas Coincident does not. Unfortunately unless someone has both, anything we say about one or the other is just conjecture. I'm going to end up with one of the two, heck, maybe both just to satisfy my curiosity.
