DSL or Vintage/Modern: which one?

[Pickface]

Hello,
I need some advice. I was all set to buy a DSL 50 when I find out about the new Vintage Modern. It'll be rather difficult for me to try the VM (i live in central Maine). So I'll probably have to wait and rely on reviews and forums like this one to help me. I already know that I like the DSLs having had a DSL 100. I supose I could wait for the VMs to become available by mail order, buy one and if I don't like it, exchange it for the DSL. Other than that, any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'd get the Vintage Modern first. If it's not all it's cracked up to be, you can dump it for a minimal loss early on and still get a DSL. The DSL can be had for chump change used and they aren't old enough to have leaking caps etc yet, so that's a great deal no matter how you slice it. New tubes puts you right back to square 1. Either way, go forth and get yourself a Marshall!!
