I tested all this, and I prefer the AB-class, but probably being an exception...
Everybody runs for the class A when it comes to Accuphase.
The AB have not the same reputation and are more difficult to re-sell!

BUT: like with cedar or spruce in guitars, the best is to have both
The power amp section E-650 (A) versus E-480 (AB) is one criterium.
But please do not forget the preamp section.
The E-650 is the only amp with a balanced preamp section like the C-3850.
All other preamps and integrated amps (e.g. E-480) only have a unbalanced preamp section.
