Hey Jason,

I'm a stranger in these here parts and may be missing the mark (I've had a few in the ol' saloon as well ), but I gotta believe the Outlaws did a fair bit more than take the 1050 and add an extra amp and some new features when they put the 1070 together. The don't really advertise it but I'm guessing the quality of the components used as well as the introduction of a toroidal transformer must translate into an improvement in sound quality over the 1050.

I'd say if you've got the cash to spare take the 1070 for a test drive, chances are, if you like it you can probably still get a good $400 for your 1050 on eBay anyway. From the tone in your posts, it sounds like you've just about talked yourself into it anyway!
