Question regarding Futterman vs Atma-Sphere

I understand the Atma Sphere design is simply a re-worked Futterman design with (arguably) increased reliability at (again arguably) the cost of decreased sonics. My understanding is that both designs run EXTREMELY HOT (read: not usable anywhere in USA these past few weeks). So I am asking: what is the true benefit of theses designs, and can someone tell me why I should not buy the Futterman that just came up on AgoN for 750.00 instead of an (overpriced?) Atma Sphere copy of the exact same amplifier for 10,000??

One point--the Atma-Sphere OTL amps use only one pair of (normal-value) coupling caps... - jeffreybehr 16:40:43 07/25/06 (1)

Interstage coupling in a circlotron - anyone tried it? Ralph? - klaus 01:14:20 08/01/06 (0)
