You are kind of comparing amps in two different price classes right? Isn’t the LM 845ia notably more expensive?
Either way, I would see if you can find local dealers to look at and listen to both in person. If I had to go in blind, I’d go with the LM. Single Ended and 845 tubes vs EL34. That’s enough to win me over, assuming it's enough power for your speakers.
