WC, Victor Komenko (the BAT designer) indicated that the output transformers on the SE models offered superior performance over the oil in paper capacitors. The fully balanced, single gain high current design is a stellar performer. I have the tube/capacitor variant (VK-52SE) feeding SS AMP (obviously the flip of your SS preamp/tube amp setup) and it is a spectacular performer. I believe the VK-43SE would be awesome with your MC 2301s based on specs, BUT I have not heard the pairing in the flesh.
