The difference of 300W and the additional 2.5 lbs in weight (over the WTX-500) doesn't impress me with "new Little Mark's". Why? Because there's not much discernable volume diffence in the additional wattage (maybe +1.5 db). You don't get coverage by adding wattage, you get coverage by adding speakers.

What is more noteworthy is it appears the LMT800 utilizes a 6205 tube in the pre-amp stage. This gives you the tone dynamic of mixing tube and solid-state. Theoretically, this should provide for some really nice tone. This is what Eden has been doing for years in their WT Series Amps: A Hybrid Bass Amp design. The newer Eden WTX Series utilize the Golden Ear Chip to accomplish the same.
