Also evaluate Technical Support.  

Ten Tec's is awesome.  Even for discontinued products, I've often found a call to Ten Tec to be very worthwhile.

They are pretty much rated the same power, from what I have heard, the TenTec would probably be the best bet if you work CW since it has QSK as a standard feature, and it is an option with the Commander. You have one very expensive tube in the Commander vs a fairly low cost pair of 3-500z's in the TenTec.

I'd go for the Ten Tec also.
