I personally think the dynaguard and relay are advantages. With as much power as these amps are capable of putting out (600 watts mono!) speaker protection is a good thing. I don't have to worry about my expensive speakers being damaged when the dynaguard is on.
I also like the meter option of the st400. Like I said above ...when lit correctly (lamps wired in series to dim them by 50%) the st400's meters are absolutely beautiful.
I think stereo gear has to look good as well as sound good. The st400 does both. I think it's the best looking of the dynaco solid state amps. The 416 is to busy and the 410 is to drab.
