Which one does everybody prefer mesa mark IV or the soldano SLO

If this was the Soldano site you might get a different answer but seeing as you are on the Boogie one, which one do you think ?

well it's a close one for me, i felt the mesa was more versitile but harder to dail in. the soldano easier to dial in but not as versitile as the mark IV. both very tight, and articulate. the marks bottom end seemed to be alot nicer, but the soldano didn't have the depth switch and that could have made a difference. the soldano was very nice at low volumes the mark not as good at low volumes as the soldano, but i don't really play at low volumes. so i guess i'm gonna say the mark IV because of the versitlity factor but they both sound really nice. i'm just looking to see what everybody else opinions are, to see if other people feel the same way i do. you know the slo is supposed to be "the" amp, but i feel the mark is better, am i crazy but i just feel like the mark has better tones in it.

The SLO has to be cranked a lot more than the Mark IV for "that" tone, and the Mark IV is much more versatile, but neither is "the" amp in my book. I much prefer the versatility and tone of the Quad over the Mark IV, and I also prefer the versatility and tone of the DR over the SLO, but against each other, I'd probably go Mark IV 2 times out of 3 against the SLO.
