I'm not sure. I find myself enjoying the ARC a lot.
Just for grins, I swapped the KT120s out of the Rogue and replaced them with a fresh set of 6CA7EH (which I believe are more like EL34s). Talk about smooth, warm and seductive! The sound can be described as rich but darker overall.
However, with the ARC I'm hearing better detail in snare drums, cymbals, and percussion in general and with a nice deep tight bass. It's also more transparent and extended than the Rogue. I'm not sure if it's the treble extension and overall 'clarity' that also contributes to a bigger more holographic soundstage.
The two amps sound even more different now that I put 6CA7EH (EL34s?) in the Rogue. Both amps are excellent.
A couple folks have suggested replacing the coupling caps in the Rogue for more transparency while retaining its warmer tone.
