BAT 75 SE vs. CAT JL2 or JL2 Sig.

I would like to know how this two amps compare.
I do realize the price difference, but still, would like to hear your first hand experience with both.
I'm especially interested in the differences (or similarities) in the areas of tonal character, dynamics and ability to play complex, dynamic music ( I listen to classical, rock mostly and everything else in between)
You can see my system below.
I should also note, that I used to own BAT 75SE in the past, albeit with different speakers and preamp, so I'm fairly familiar with this amp., and have been thinking about trying it again.
Never heard CAT before.

I second what David has said about modifying the BAT 75SE(150SE). He has listed the mods in order of increasing difficulty - easiest first. He has advised and helped me make the mods to my 150SE amps. If one is not intimadated by a soldering iron, these mods are quite do-able for the average audiophile who wants to get the most out of those amps.
Highly recommended.

Point taken, Maril555. Some Supratek owners raved about the change with V-caps as well. Not sure how long .."listening to for awhile.." is. V-caps do require breaking in. Different strokes.......
