Art Audio Jota VS Audio Note Conquest

Friends, I am in a situation where one of these could be mine. Both are similarly priced, specs are also similar. Both are Parallel Single ended 300B power amps with 18 watts per channel output. Has anyone heard both ? Or at least has anyone heard similar amps from both these brands ? How do they differ in their presentation ? Any input would greatly helpful in choosing between them.

My taste is more towards honest and truthful presentation rather than being rosy. But I want to keep to tubes, no SS.

Please note that the Jota is not a parallel design. It uses one 300B XLS valve per channel, whereas the Conquest uses two regular 300Bs per channel. The Jota High Current (HC) with KR 300B XLS yields 24 WPC.

I use the Jota. I wouldn't want to own a Conquest.
