Manley Snapper vs Neo-Classic 250

I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions/experience/thoughts on the sound differences between these 2 amps.

How much heat do either of these amps put off? Would putting either one on a shelf with about 16" of clearance to the one above be an issue?

Could they handle being on the bottom shelf of something similar to this? http://www.mapleshadestore.com/images/customergallery/customergallery8_lg.jpg They would have around 16" of clearance (between them & shelf above).
