Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature

Hello,
I would like to know if the new Signature version of the Antileon is really better (sound quality) thant the previous one. How are there comparing ?
It's easy to find an used Antileon for a fair price, but Signature ones are a lot more expensive (because they are newer).
And do those amplifiers have a good fiability ? A 7 or 8 years old amp is a good choice or the risk of technical problem is very high (I know they are gettong very hot, so it stresses the electronics components a lot) ?
Thanks for your advices.

Nobody has ever compared the 2 generations of Antileon ?
I will try to ask Gryphon directly, but I'm sure that they will answer that the new one is a lot better than the old Antileon !

Anyone ?
I have found a used Signature that cost two times the price of another used Antileon amp.
The Signature is worth twice the price ?

The sound is the same ?
If the only difference is power, the older is OK for me !
What are the diffrences between first and second gen. of Antileon (I didn't even know that 2 subversions exist!) ?
When appeared the second version ? 1999, 2000 or another year ?
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for the info.
I was thinking that the Antileon was a bit on the dark side for sound, not on the bright side...

I see only 3 little defaults on the Antileon :
- it's getting very hot,
- the gain is a little to high for my use : it's over 30db, and I would have prefered around 25db,
- there is no french distributor, so a technical problem would be difficult to solve without shipping the amp back to the Denmark.
