i took the plunge. no bugs noticed so far. new SLO models are good...
...but the SLO Overdrive is HORRIBLE on DSP. I had a patch with a delay and reverb. now I can only fit a delay, not a reverb without the delay. So this means the amp model takes up between (edit)4-8% MORE DSP than any of the other high gain amps. edit: I originally wrote 8-16% but revised because I forgot I was using dual amps (same amp model, different cab/mic).
I'm not sure how much I'll end up using it because of the extreme DSP cost. The tone sounds kind of like a hot-rodded Marshall, between the JCM-800 and Uber models. It's got that muddy breakup both of them have, which needs to be dialed out. But it also has a nice upper-mids breakup that sounds great. I think I'm sticking with a boosted Uber for those type tones, but I still have a lot of work to put in.
and that is my $2,000,000.00
