Renny, both are great amps. The major difference is one is true tube tone (60) and the other is digital to simulate tube tone (75). The digital does a great job and I like the price of the 75 @ $299.

Keep this in mind, tube amps (Vypyr 60) will likely have greater resell value. It won't depreciate in value as much as digital amps are known for. That said, if someone was to recorded a demo CD with the 60 and another demo with the 75, nobody could ever hear the difference. Tubes just have a bit more warmth and punchy feel to them.

I can promise you one thing, whichever amp you decide to go with, he will be one very happy dude!

P.S. Both amps have awesome overdrive. He will be able to dial in any tone or sound his mind can dream up.
