Prima Luna Dialogue series, is it worth the money?

I was trying to decide between the Prima Luna Prologue Premium integrated, and the Prima Luna Dialog 1, or 2. Has anyone compared these two series of integrated amps. I'm just trying to decide, if it's worth spending the extra money to get the Dialogue. What are the sonic differences? Thank you.

Personally I don’t think so. Both have :- SoftStart & Adaptive AutoBias, However I don’t think the Premium has UL/Triode switching, not sure? Running in Triode mode can sound better on some valves. Down to personal taste.
You May get slightly better transformers on the Dialogue & maybe better valves, but I think you’ll find they are still the stock Chinese Shuguang’s, which you’ll need to change, if you want the best sound.
Remember a Valve amp’s only as good as the valves you use in it ! The Shuguang’s are cheap get you up & running tubes. Yes I know they have PrimaLuna stamped on them, but trust me their made by Shuguang!
You pay’s your money & makes your choice! Good luck.
