Pickmaster, do you remember noticing whether the Fuchs had that much less available clean headroom or overall volume than your OTS?

Definitely not!

Fuchs had loads of clean headroom and volume. Actually only problem with this setup was 2x10 cab. I‘m sure if I had 4x10 with good alnico or neo speakers feel of the amp would have being much softer and bigger. Usually 6V6 s sound very sweet and liquid.

That's reassuring. I A/B'd the one I tried with my own Fender Tweed Twin, and it seemed to have plenty of volume and headroom for anything I do. You know, the usual pubs, clubs etc. 6V6's sound sweet, I agree, but I like 6L6's, and the Fuchs I tried came with a pair of TAD 6L6's fitted. You can fit either 4 6V6's or two 6L6's without rebiasing, I believe. I know there are other options, and cheaper ones, but I'm really taken with that amp; just struggling to justify the expense of buying that amp plus splashing out for a cab (probably 2x12) as well!

Clean headroom from Fuchs 30 was good? I like many of the lower gain types of tubes, like 6V6s (6L6 family) and EL84s, but usually the amp is lacking a bit in the clean headroom department. Yes I realize to sound twice as loud as a 30 watt amp you "need" 300 watts, but I prefer 50s to 30s for the clean headroom. It shouldn't make that much difference, I know.
