In future I'll include the solo guitar sound, but I think the context in a mix is what matters most honestly. When are you ever going to have a recording with JUST the guitar? (I know that's genre specific) The big thing for me is that bass tone influences your perception of the guitar tone so much... I should have taken the bass out if anything. Seeing as it's the same bass sample both times, the perceived difference in the amps would be much less. Lesson learned!
Context matters if you're simply interested in sharing a recording, but then why post them here if that's your goal. However, you stated that the samples were a comparison between Firmware 1.05 and 2.00. That being the case, it's far more challenging to discern the subtleties between the two updates with the guitar(s) sitting in a full mix, in my opinion. If it's the guitar(s) we're concerned with, it's much preferred to hear them in isolation.
