Darkglass M900 Mk 1 -v- Mk 2??

[fretmeister]

I have the Mk1 version of the Darkglass M900.

I love it. It's a superb amp.

But GAS being GAS - does anyone own a Mk1 and Mk2? 

Are there differences that make it worth an upgrade? 

Aside from the Compressor for example - although being able to leave a pedal behind would be good.

 

I see on the new ones the Fan is now reactive rather than 1 speed all the time. Is it noticeably quieter at TV watching volumes?

 

I'm thinking about expanding the amp collection and the Mk2 and the MB Little Marcus 800 are both on the list. I will be keeping the existing M900 whatever.

I did look at the Ashdown ABM 600 for a bit of big iron heft but frankly the fan noise is stupid and I'd end up burning it with a day of owning one. Shame really as it sounds great.

 

Has anyone got both the Mk1 and the Mk2 and can compare them objectively?
