Neverending debate on 1176LN vs MC77

Hi guys.. I'm new here

I almost purchased the Purple Audio MC77 until yesterday I read the review
of George Shilling on MC76. I got a bit confused and thought of going for
UA 1176LN.. He seemed to like 1176 more on the 1176 review

There are a lot of admirers of Purple here, but are there any liking 1176
more??? The debate goes on, but as i don't have the chance to compare
these devices, i need some opinions..

Shilling said also that MC76 is slightly faster than 1176, which is not a
bad thing in my point of view..

Purple is clearer they say.. I'm looking for a warm vintage sound, so if I
purchase Purple do I loose the vintage touch? Shilling said that purple
distorts easier and the distortion is more fuzz like.. is this a problem?

Any opinions are welcome!! Thanks!
