amplifier longevity

Is there any difference in longevity and or reliability between valve amps and solid state amps?

I thought that perhaps design differences between ss and tube amps might be a factor here.

Specifically I am considering the valve amps by Rogue Audio vs. the solid state amps by Luxman, both great brands in my opinion.

Thanks!

My Acoustat model x amps are also from the mid eighties. I replaced some tubes and caps and did some updates, but they are basically the same and still get used at least once week. JD
