Well, I'll handle the preamp tube queston first. No, you won't blow up your amp using lower gain 12A** preamp tubes. But, I'm pretty sure the result will not be that great. IMO, these amps are pretty dependent on staying within a certain specification.

The main difference between the OTS and HRM is the HRM has a tone stack after the overdrive section. There are some other smaller details that effect the tone as well. I own an HRM so, I'm probably biased, but I think the HRM is a very versatile amp. I have never played a non-HRM version so I can't say what I think is better. But it seems the HRM does not get the same level of praise, which I can't really understand. I love it.
