Rick, I got a little more time to play with it last night. So far I'm very happy.
I'm playing though two cabs which are both first series Shuttle gear...a single 12T and a 210T. (I used to have a pair of 12T cabs but for some reason decided that I wanted the 210 more, so I sold the second 12 and bought a used 210.)
I've been playing at moderate volume, generally with the tube gain up about 3:00 to 4:00, the tube volume maxed out (I generally leave it there) and the master gain not much past 9:00 (2 or 3 out of 10).
What I think I hear is a fuller bottom end. I've played with the tube gain and rolled it back and bit and the clean signal is still there, but by turning up the tube gain, the tube drive is perhaps a bit grittier in the 6.2. I like that. The manual says "The Gain structure is set in such a way that using the control beyond the 3 o’clock position will provide dramatic increase in tube overdrive." I think this is actually similar to the 6.0.
Where I come out is that for a $100 difference between what I paid for the 6.2 and what I sold my 6.0 for, it's worth it. If I were spending much more than that, I don't think I'd do it. But I don't have access to big-time cabs like the Benz Ubers, and I suspect that with somewhat larger cabs any differences might be more immediately obvious.
Since my band is currently practicing very occasionally (due to one member's working on an oil exploration ship 50% of the time for the past few months) I won't get a chance to work it at band practice for a few weeks. Fortunately our traveling member is finishing his work gig and we should be able to get together more often around the end of March.
