I don't have experience cutting on a Scully although there is one parked outside my door that I don't wish to see inside my door.
A common phrase used by people who have used both is that a Scully is a GTO and a Neumann is a Porche. You can beat the crap out of a Scully and it will still go, but if you want performance...I think National uses solid state Westrex amps. I know there were two generations of them. The first were seriously underpowered. Current limiting may be beneficial in some cases.
The HT66 limiters in the older Neumann VG66 are sloppy, but sound better then the Westrex HF limiter. I have used both of these. For the HT66's to really protect the cutterhead they do have to kick in pretty early. I've been told that the Westrex heads can take more of a beating. They are certainly much easier to rebuild.
