Mcintosh amp advice

Looking to swap out my PS Audio GCC-100 int amp and happened upon Mcintosh amps. Listened to the 6900 int where the salesman recomended to start and was in my price range. Loved the look and sound but have been reading about the 2275 tube integrated.
Which one is better with quad 22L speakers and how difficult is owning a tube amp, am not used to messing with tubes. To complicate matters i have a deposit on a new LFD int which i was going to buy off a review in Stereophile back in Mch along with some other peoples recomendations that this is a great amp.
the mcintosh 6900 new or a used MC2275 would be roughly the same money> would that also be an issue buying new or used.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated as i am in a dilemma LFD"s are backordered but i will need to make a decision soon
tks

yes i can get back the deposit on the LFD.
already own the quads so those are the speakers i will have to work with for now.
max on my budget for an amp is around 5g which puts me near the 6900 new or the 2275 used. Would have to look at used for the 220/275 combo.
also concerned about all the differences in wattage LFD rated 60/90 8 and 4 ohms while the 6900 is 200 and the 2275 believe is 75. Does the LFD come up short here or are ratings deceiving. Continue to hear great things about te LFD
