Oops, I misunderstood your question. I thought you already had Macs.

However, I don't see why you'd change from the Carvers, except to down-size, as you say. Do I think you'll hear any difference in the Carvers and Mac? No, unless you imagine you hear a difference. If you turn off your psychological bias to "hear" a difference (that's hard to do without a double-blind setup), if the amps measure the same, they sound the same.
