I just realized the stereo 20/20 power amp is no longer mentioned in Mesa/Boogie's product listings, and is sold out of their on-line store. Anyone know the back story on this?

You're going to have to revise that impression.sleewell said:for some reason no one that owns it actually likes it

Interesting idea. That sounds sort of like the Groove Tubes "Dual" amp format, though the Dual can be set up to run stereo, or as mono, 60-75 watts (depending on output tube choice). Of course, you could use the Mesa 50/50, and just run it in mono - which I'm sure you've already considered.
Personally, I like to use old '40s lower-voltage 6L6G for power, and would love a low-voltage stereo amp that runs 4x6L6G, at about 25 watts each side 8)
