I don't know anything about the 8080 tube that it is in the ET-2, but the ET3/ET3 SE shares the sweet and musical 6922 tube that is used in the ART/Pr16/Pr17 and ET-5 and GAT. I would also think the Teflon caps in the SE would give the ET3 a slightly more neutral sound than the ET-2, but that's a guess. The ET-2 like the CT-5 is a lot prettier.
