The reason you would want the S-5000 (with 5 preamp tubes) over the 5000II or 8000 is for the huge ultra linear transformers and GZ34 rectification. If your going to go to the trouble to get a piece of vintage gear restored by a guy with a waiting list, you may as well get the best piece of gear (within its class) to begin with. You did it right with your Mac monos!
Once I decided to get a vintage integrated tube amp and have it restored and hot rodded, I emailed Mike and he made it pretty clear which one he would choose.
Once I find a pair of nice MC-60s, I'll get back in line for Mikey to work his magic.
