Give them a try especially if you can try and then re-sell without any loss. You must try this stuff to find out for yourself and your own tastes. I've had a lot of first hand experience with vintage and I'll tell you the Sherwood is a real sleeper especially for what they go for even now.
I did have the MC 30s as well completely refurbished those- they were some what opaque but I'm not a 6L6 fan - but that's just me. The only Mc tube I kept was the 225.

When you rebuild the Mc30s with an film cap power supply and a low mu choke in place of the 150 ohm 10 watt resistor,these amps are transformed into three dimensional sonic marvel.You can run KT66s in them or even EL37s as one of those probably would tickle your fancy.Nice Marantz 2s
In Geezers case,he can't use an Mc225 because he needs more power as he getting some ESLs.If he got the ESL57s,the Mc225 would be more than sufficient.
