See this is my pet peeve, the "investment" point of view. Yes if I was flipping gear like a lunatic I would be concerned about getting my money back on the Metro but if I was certain that the Metro was going to deliver what I am looking for then the return on investment point is null and void.
If I found a SLP local and it was in good shape I probably would hit that first though.

A 72 is a lot different then a 67 Plexi. The 70 series s/l are still relatively cheap compared to the plexiglass Marshalls. If you are talking about a collecters piece then I hear you but I would rather get a Metro Plexi kit then a 60's plexi because of the $$$ issues and odds are that it will not have any issues down the road.

I see what you're saying but in a sense I disagree. You can of course build whatever circuit you want in a Metro, but you're using new parts. So in that sense, I think an original '72 super lead has more in common with an original '69 super lead than a '69 metro has with an original '69? Know what I mean? Not to mention that one has vibe and one doesn't. That's just my personal preference after owning a couple clones.

That is a tough question, I am not as versed in Plexi type amps as you are so there would be a chance I would buy the wrong one or something that was screwed with. I know what I would be getting from George and would not be afraid to put the iron to it or punch holes in it.
Of course having something that would rise in value would be cool

Now that's an excellent point. It's kinda scary to buy an old amp, at least it was for me. That's a very valid concern. I split the difference and went for one that was mostly original, with original iron, but that had been around the block, so I haven't been afraid to put the iron to it. It's about half super bass and half ralle-ized at this point, and it's an ass-kicker...

George is one of the few guys who has gone to great lengths to get all the new parts to sounds right. The new amps will definitely not have the mojo factor of an old amp but they sure sound great!
I totally know where you are going with what you are saying and I probably would have agreed with you years ago, But what I heard at the Metro booth was as good as if not better then any old marshall that I have heard or owned. To be quite honest with you, His amp smoked my 72 and any re-issue Marshall that I have heard so far in person. To add insult to injury, George has done comparison clips comparing some of his builds to his originals and I don't think anyone could tell the difference between the 2. A 72 superlead will have more in common with a 69 plexi if you can get one that has all of the original parts which is a good score if you can find one!
I totally understand where you are comming from but for what I woul d want, A metroamp would suite me just fine ! I also wouldn't have any fear of gigging with a metro where I would have a fear using a 72 Superlead or 67 Plexi at a gig.
All in all, I'm basically saying that Im glad that companies like Georges exist!!
