Looks like their upcoming AR 41 DB are pretty on-trend - 30mm wide, 21mm internal (hooked), $1300 (same as the 303S). They're slightly heavier (1630g, 80g more than the 303S), but look like a good option if you want to run tubes.
I'm wondering if it's just manufacturing improvements that are moving prices down or if some of the Taiwanese direct sellers are having a influence... regardless, there are a lot more good options at a little over $1k than there were just a year ago.
The November guys had a blog about it. I can dig up the link this evening if people are interested.
