Little Mark Tube

I played one today but with all the guitards playing loudly and me trying to be polite to a near bassplayer I couldn't hear a difference between the little mark II and the mark tube.. Or when I turned the Knob from solid state to tube. I did heard a GOOD fuzz when I turned up the gain a good bit. But Im looking for that WARM tube tone.. How does this tube sound to yall?

i spent a lot of time ABing these two at a store and went with the tube. there is a slight difference/advantage to someone looking for a tiny bit of warmth. however...
remember that it's only a tiny tube! it warms up the sound slightly but not very much. even hybrid amps with 12ax7 tubes can't warm up like full tube amps can, and this is even less than those.
if you're looking for just a tiny bit, then I'd recommend the extra $100 for what the mark tube has to offer. but if you're looking for as much as you can get, then I think you need to either consider a different amp or find another way to warm up your tone, such as a tube DI or a tube imitator like the sansamp VT.
