Sugden A21 AP or Pass Labs Aleph 30?

I am considering a new amp for my bedroom system. I wanted to go with a reasonably priced class a amp. I am considering either the Sugden A21 AP or the Pass Labs Aleph 30. I will be matching the amp with a Van Alstine Transcendence 6 hybrid tube amp and Epos ELS3 bookshelf speakers (90db efficient, I believe). If you have owned either of these 2 amps, I would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks

I have two Aleph 30 in passive biamp. configuration (see my system).
The Alephs amplifier are superb and wonderfull amplifiers. Don´t worry about they run hot. If you have any doubts you can contact to Mr.Nelson Pass at First Watt.
You can buy used for 800u$s in perfect conditions.
If you buy the old Aleph series remember that they have very low input impedance. Aleph 30 and 60 are better in that category.
If you want to buy new models you can go to the Aleph J.
