I think this where it diverges. SS vs tubes. A restored tube piece with carefully chosen modern parts really brings out the best in old designs. In fact that's all most modern tube gear is for the most part.
Solid state on the other hand, if you like that kind of thing, just keeps getting better. I'm not talking mass market, box store stuff. It's taken awhile but they have really started to figure it out. Frank Van Alstine at AVA stared on something quiet a few years back. The 400r Fetvalve I have is not far from the Citation II.
If you have the cash get something new. If you need to stretch a budget get something older that you can work on and maintain. I always took to heart a phrase that Frank at Angela Electronics used to have on his web site.
