I can understand where people prefer SET for vocalists, stringed orchestrial music, and other mid- forward music. The SET would be easier and cheaper to build, but if it isn't right for me, I prefer to stick with PP.
SET amps are frowned on (by some people) for rock because of their limited ability to pump out bass frequencies. Since you are using an SS amp for the bass, this concern is moot.
SET amps made with big triodes such as the 845, 211, etc. - however, do not suffer from a lack of bass, because they produce in excess of 20W audio output per channel, and the outputs they use are huge, well-designed and expensive.
