Hey Birdie, I completely respect your opinions and I'm glad you found some cool units. You peaked my curiosity so I went and checked the manual on the amplifier.

My perspective (based on the manual and not playing the unit):
Amplifier effects loop mono send / 11R effects loop stereo send = + 11R
Amplifier FX loop static placement in chain / 11R FX loop moveable = + 11R
Amplifier FX moveable BUT to select locations / 11R FX moveable anywhere = + 11R

It looks like it has some extra knobs in the amp/cab models for "deep editing" of the amp models (sag, air, etc) so I'd put that as a plus towards the amplifier.

Also, loading IRs I would put as a plus, although I personally would not get much benefit from that. I've gone down the IR path using an IR loader on my PC and found that I like the 11R cabinets and mic options. I can see why people want that flexibility though.

Anyways, they are different units, it looks like aimed at slightly different usage models (I would say 11R more studio use, amplifier more integrated into live rig). I hope to try one someday.
