Hi Paul,
I haven't heard that particular model myself, but I have heard the Sugden Fusion which I wasn't at all impressed with. It lacked any kind of dynamics... just dull really.
However, I did demo the latest model; the PDT4-F and this was superb, a very close call between it and my EMC1UP.
If you drop Patrick at Sugden an Email, he will gladly arrange you a home demo of the SE.
