If they all have hefty enough power supplies to put a brick on the key
and walk way without worrying, I'd look at the tube replacement cost for
the various tubes (if you ever have to replace them).

Otherwise, you can't go wrong if you go Alpha.  The Alpha 99 is a great
amp, but if you want auto-tune capability and have the extra $$$, get the
Alpha 87.

My experience with the Acom 2000 is that it is sublect to RF getting into
the remote control at times which can cause it to fault.
