What would you miss?..about 150# of dead weight.... I think you'll find 
the 117 is as good a performer...maybe better than the 115 for a lot 
less money. The same for the HT-44 versus the HT-32B.  The only short 
comings I know of for the HT-44 is they used a pair of 6DQ5 sweep tubes 
in the final instead of 6146s.  Sweep tubes are becoming increasingly 
more difficult to find.  The 44 and 117 are much smaller and lighter 
than their SX115 and HT32B counterparts and about the same physical size 
as the Collins S-line. Operation wise I prefer the 44 and 117, but for 
ego building, show and tell, it'd be the S-Line.I've owned and run the 
entire HT-32 series as well as all of the SX101s and the HT-33B (which I 
still have) and the HT-37. I have also owned the S-Line, KWM-2, and KWS1 
with a 75A4. I liked the performance of the KWS-1/75A4 over the S-line 
or KWM-2, but it was big and gave off quite a bit of heat. Although 
being in the basement at the time that heat was kinda handy.
