I think you would be shocked at how good the Sherwood really is.
I had one and it was quite amazing on the quad esl. I don't want to rain on your dream but the MC 60 may not be what you think it is. The only Mc tube amp that I like is the MC 225 which is a gem and I am more of a vintage Marantz tube fan.
I have the SP 3 now along with the MC 225, Marantz 8b,5,2,7 and 1,s various other tube vintage and new.
I had the MC 60 and the Sherwood you have. Best advice if you are keen, have them both in the house then decide. Mc looks great but I wouldn't go there unless it was a deal simply on sound quality expectations. YMMV and all that.
good luck
