Aguilar 500SC vs. Mesa M6 Carbine

So for those that have played these amps, how do they compare? Volume wise, which has more to it? Can they cop similar tones to each other? Or are they vastly different? Opinions appreciated!

Anyone out there with opinions on this one?

I think they are on different tonal ends of the specturm. The Mesa will spank the Aguilar volume wise. I think the Mesa EQ is a lot more effective as well. Mesa is brighter, clearer, more articulate. I really like the Mesa, not a fan of the AG 500 stuff - don't like the voicing or EQ. Both are high quality, great brands.

Agreed.
