tubes are only for the input/driver section, which even your addled brain should realize will work very well indeed as triodes are in fact far more linear than transistors to begin with. For small signal amplification it is perfectly appropriate.
I don't disagree with you regarding the price...it is pretty steep for the amplifier. Soncially it delivers and I can almost guarantee you it is better sounding than that underspecified JOB you bought. The weight is largely due to a sufficient power supply. No bass issues there ;-).
The appearance...as always...is a matter of taste so you can think what you want.
I am sure the damping factor of the amplifier is more than adequate...there is no correlation between DF and bass quality anyway.
