BAT VK75 / VK75SE Question

What a great way to get information !
Audiogon rules.

Just this week i ordered a BAT VK51SE and the VK-P10SE phono to go with it ! although I have never listened to these BAT amps, i am utterly confident.
In the near future i will buy the VK-D5SE Cd player as well.
The VK-75 poweramps are a fine match to this family, BUT what is the trick with the VK-75 against the VK-75SE ?

As you may noticed the VK-75SE has a substancial price hike against the 6SN7 based VK-75.
Should I buy a pair of VK-75's or should i buy a stereo VK-75SE ? ( and later buy the second one )
Mind you that my recources are now limited to either two monoblock VK-75 or one VK-75SE.

Is the VK-75SE so much better ?
the 6SN7 tubes seem to be more than up to task.
anyone who had a VK-75 or VK-60 stereo amp and got a second amp later ? what's your experience ?

thanx a lot for any relevant info !

I have my 75SE sitting on a 300+ lb granite that came from a $2M+ semiconductor metrology tool. Dimension is perfect for the amp, about 2" wider all around and 4" thick. Has an oval cut off in the center, but can't be seen when amp is on top. Compare to Billy Bag amp stand, the granite sounds a lot quieter with better bass and imaging.

True, you can't buy those granite from your local store, but I am in the mood to tease :)

Best part is it's free, just need a lot of elbow grease to get it home.
