Default Shindo Cortese 300B version

Is anyone familiar with the 300B version of the Cortese? Besides the fact that is it 8W instead of 10W, how is it expected to differ sonically from the F2A model?

Cortese

CorteseBS
Roland Kraft wrote a review where he compares both versions 300B and F2A (original review is in German):
"...those new in single-ended amplifiers will prefer the 300B an its warmth, connoisseurs will prefer the F2A with its richness in the high tones, some more bite and more drama, eventually even the more neutral sound..."

I had both Cortese f2a (original version) and 300b (new version).
In my system (VR + Flamenco), f2a presented more dispersed and neutral sound. Compared to f2a, 300b had more focused, dense, detailed sound. I was also surprised that 300b sounded more dynamic despite of its lower power rating.

I also read Roland Kraft's review on f2a vs 300b and tried to be a connoisseurs but I found myself liking 300b better. I wonder if the expensive WE 300b contributed some but I ended up selling f2a and kept 300b.
