Ampeg Reverberocket 212 Reissue or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe?

I am in search for a used tube amp and I am between these 2. I will probably will not have the ability to try them out or compare them by myself so I thought to try here and see if anyone had any experience with these two.

Hot rod will probably be version III though if i could find the IV for a reasonable price I would buy it instantly.

Price for each is around 400 to 500 euros.

Just curious to see to which one you would give the edge and why.

Thanks.

Geek out on Fenderforum.com.

HR Deluxe is a cool amp.

65 Deluxe Reverb reissue here. It has been dropped, drinks spilled on it, the tolex is ripped, but it CRANKS! 22 watts with no headroom problem with a ham fisted drummer.

Probably just in my head, but a genuine tubed reverb circuit just sounds right compared to what the HR Deluxe units have-SS.     

It's the player, not the gear. But when get a sound you like, you play more.
