I can't speak to the recto but I've had a 5150 for ten years and have pretty much dialed it every way possible. I've had somewhat better success with tube swaps and cabinet/speaker changes but the basic character, to my ears, doesn't lend itself to thick organic leads. It seems to really want to scoop and have thin hollow sounding pinch harmonics no matter what I do. The Legacy goes a bit far to the opposite side of the spectrum and loves to thicken everything up, but perhaps a bit too much sometimes.
Like everyone else I want the amp that does it all, which perhaps doesn't exist but I figured I could find something in the middle if not.
