AirTight ATM-2 vs McIntosh MC30s (Restored )

I thought that i was  set on buying a pair of completely restored McIntosh MC30s, but this amp ....
The Air Tight ATM-2 has me really intrigued .
I have heard a pair of MC30s , but never any Air Tight Amp.
I know that the MC30s are 6L6 output tubes with about 40 watts out whereas the Airtight has  KT88 output tubes with about 80watts ouput power ..
I would like to hear some thoughts and opinions about one vs the other . I am guessing that almost nobody has heard both amps ? 
Speakers are Tekton Double Impacts and Pre is McIntosh MX151 with Lyngdorf room correction

Thanks for the replies .
I have purchased a nice restored set of MC30s from Yves Beauvais at Vintage Vacuum Audio.I should get them this week sometime
They have been completely redone with all new resistors capacitors and wiring .
If in the end i do not like them ,  i will try the Air Tight ATM-2. I currently use a Rogue Audio ST-100 With NOS Mullard 12AX7s from the 1960s .
