I know this is a very old thread, but wanted to add my comments. I recently purchased a pristine 27.5. On consignment at a guitar store in a small town. To be honest, bought it because it was a ML and the price was so low. Boy am I impressed. The amp hits way above it pay grade. The current is amazing. Driving Aerial Acoustics 8B's, which should have 200 a channel. The 27.5 handles them in spades. Watts vs current really do seem to be like torque vs HP.
Have used it both with a recapped/updated SF Line 2 PRE and with a Levinson 38. Very different sound. Both very refined and enjoyable.
