Both are within 10% of 1600 - pretty close, given the uncertainties. You might measure your power line voltage; if it's under 117v, then use the 1500s; if it's over 125v use the 1760s.

If it's in between, get one of each (per amp). Use the 1500 in the cathode and 1760 in the power supply if you want cleaner sonics. This will give slightly lower voltage and higher current, giving a hair less power but reduced distortion. Use the 1760 in the cathode and 1500 in the power supply if you want richer, more ballsy sonics. This will give more voltage and less current, more peak power, and a little more distortion.
