In my experience this is kind of an apples to oranges comparison. I have played just about every model of these and my overall favorite is the 5150 II. The plain 6505 was my least favorite (not totally sure why) but when I played the EVH 5150 III I felt like it was a completely different amp category. I'm sure with the right EQ settings it could be really good for just about anything, but the 5150/6505 are incredible for just about one thing. It'd be like comparing the John Petrucci Ibanez line to the brand new Majesty. Sure, they were made for the same person. However, what he is looking for now is completely different than what he wanted way back in the Ibanez days. The JPM will still do its job the same great way it always has, but the Majesty will do things very differently.
