Shuttle 9.2 or lm800, the Markbass sounds fuller(I have both) gk mb800 might be worth a demo as well.
Headroom should not be an issue with any of these amps. I run my lm800 at under quarter volume through a Berg Hd212, plenty left in reserve for larger gigs and the tone is unbelievable!

The LM800 has a digital power amp and I believe the LM3 doesn't.

That will probably affect the tone.

Yes, from what I`ve read between the Little Mark Tube 500 & 800, the sounds are less warm on the 800. So the digital power amp does seem to affect tone.

It is quicker than the lmiii but still retains a lot of the warmth, with ridiculous headroom. Still no mute! I am in Leicester if you want to have a go on mine.
