Magnavox or RCA tube amp


I have the opportunity to buy either of these older stereo amps. Both are pulled units that gave been restored and stereo. Given an option which would you take?

My instinct would be to go with the RCA.  Back in the day they made some nice little 10 watt or so amps using push-pull 6V6 tubes in their output stage.  Around 1990 I acquired a vintage RCA mono integrated amp that was either the following model or one that was similar:

I didn't have the time to do much with it, and I sold it to a collector of vintage RCA audio equipment, who was ecstatic with it.

Also, the comments someone provided in the following thread will be of interest:
