SansAmp VT Bass vs BDDI vs ParaDDI vs PSA

Is there anywhere I can hear comparisons or soundbites from the Bassdriver/Paradriver?
I really don't know what to get - I hear that the Paradriver isn't the best option for live performances, that it's betyder suited for recordings in the studio.
I don't play hard rock/metal - so should I jump for the Bassdriver or the Paradriver?

I just warnt a big fat warm tone from my amp, maybe a bit of tube-like sound, but no heavy overdrive.

Just do a search on YouTube. Many people use the Para Driver for live use. You might also consider the VT Bass DI as well. My suggestion is to watch a couple of videos and read up a bit on the various units on our website then try the one or ones you think you will like. You really need to try with your bass and in your situation to know for sure. Most retailers give you 30 days to try these days.
