[Amps] Alpha 9500 Versus ACOM 2000A

[Jeffrey Okamitsu]

I'm considering acquiring an autotune amplifier.  I prefer a tube amp and not a solid-state amp.
 
The choices, as I see it, are between the Alpha 9500 and the ACOM 2000A.
 
I am looking for **objective** input on both products, especially from those who have either owned both or have done a side-by-side comparison.
 
Keys decision factors for me are:
 
1) Reliability.
2) Ease of use.
3) Minimum drive power at full legal limit.
4) Output purity.
 
I will be using the amp for contesting as well as DXing on all bands from 160 m through 10 m (excluding 60 m and 30 m of course).
 
Thanks in advance for your input.
 
Jeff
