Need help... Titan V12... M9...

I've posted here several times before, weighing ideas against each other, I was almost sold on the Walk-About, but then I realized I'd probably upgrade after anyways... After all I've read on the M9 & Titan it looks as though I may have a hard time being disappointed with either. I recently tried out an M9 & I loved it, however, I've lost my chance at A/Bing these amps. From what I understand, the Titan is apparently more versatile, with more growl & meat. M9 a clean amp with a huge bottom. & of course both are ridiculously loud. I'd be pairing it with a 2x12 for the time being. I've had plenty of time playing with the Titans dirty controls, however, I never really explored it's cleaner sounds, I'm curious if anyone has some input? I apologize for flooding this forum, however this is a massive decision for me

If you dug the Walkabout clean tone, the V12 should get you there or a close as feasible. The 9 will not.

I have both a V12 and a Walkabout and I think the V12 can get the Walkabouts tone pretty easily.
The M9 is built off the M6 type of tone and it doesn't sound anything like the Walkabout.
I can tell you my Titan and my Walkabout are MY tone and I plan to have them as long as possible.
The M9 is an amazing head and you couldn't be unhappy with it.

I have both and Ive got to tell you the Titan does not get enough love! If you like warmer tones go Titan. Theyre both very versatile and while the m9 can get growly it wont really get dirty. The key to warm clean tones on the Titan is the gain and passive mid knob. Those two knobs alone can dramatically alter the tone of that amp! You'll be happy with either. And the Titan voicing seems to love twelves!
