Upgrade to new Conrad Johnson Premier 140 ?

I read the "Soundstage" review but I would like opinions on the CJ Premier 140 from you guys. Being an 11a owner I would like to know if is a worthwhile upgrade. The Soundstage review mentions a more forward soundstage and I would especially like details on this. My speakers are AP Virgos.

While waiting for thenew PR 140 I had ordered,I borrowed a Premier 11A from the dealer. In retrospect, I liked the 11A much better! The vocals were much more clear. For some reason, the PR140 DOES sound a lot like transistors. Maybe it's the negative feedback built into it?
It does sound more "forward" than any other CJ amp I've heard, but I like that quality. I'm thinking about getting something from VAC instead.
