The Leben will bring you more power, better looks, various flavours and above all a lot of musical pleasure. Tube rolling ( auto bias) the Leben is a lot of fun and a fine way to tune it to your taste. I use the Leben with AN/E's ( 92db) and it has never let me down. Very stable and easy to operate although sometimes I miss a remote.
Almarro sounds great too but the 6c33c tubes need ( much)more care. I like the sound of these tubes very much too but you have to monitor them constantly. Bias can change very quick even when you think all is stable. Depends on quality of tubes too ofcourse.
Both are great amps !!
