The bf version operated at 50v lower at the rectifier which means the amp has slight less output, distorts earlier and sounds a little sweeter.
Any thoughts

Rob, are the differences you quote above the only differences?
If dropping the reservior capacitor from 40uf to 20uf then bear in mind the wide tolerance swing of electrolytic values in general, you might have to select the capacitor using a capacitance bridge
