Still.....starving children in Africa and all that....
Honestly, it's a handfull of tube based amplifier stages being fed into a 12" speaker...how good sounding can you get?
Answer:
I think its as much as hype and rarity as tone. The fact that Larry Carlton uses one, Carlos Santana uses one, Robben Ford uses one. The players players use them, and it'll probably go to someone who will either play it for the rest of their life happy as larry, or to a super rich collector. I hope the former.

That's what Wikipedia says as well. I still don't think it's worth it, but that's just me.....I like that my amps cost less than my car.
