I have not listened to the 'Premium' units, but from what I hear they will be more linear and modern sounding than the earlier Dialogues. If that is so then they might loose a bit of the warmth of the earlier Dialogues. I would miss that. Another personal reservation I have is that the small tube selection will be limited to 12AU7's What little changes I have made in my amps have been based on selection of 12AX7's , a type I have used for many years and have knowledge of how they will change the tone. Not so much with the 12AU7's.
FWIW.
