If you had to choose between the Rivera era Deluxe Reverb II versus the current DRRI, which one would you go for? Why or why not? Thanks!

Paul Rivera did some amazing work during his tenure at Fender and should get credit for really turning the amp business around. The Deluxe Reverb II from his time frame would have still been point to point. However all of these amps are now approaching 30 years old so I would probably buy a new reissue but I would love one of his amps. As you know the Super Champ was one of his creations and is a real gem. Really any of his amps would be great to own. Check out his interview on YouTube done by his son also at Rivera Amps. Very interesting with a lot of discussion of his work at Fender.

Matt, I wanted to clarify my earlier response a little. From a collectability standpoint I would prefer the Deluxe Reverb II however I prefer to gig with newer equipment so that is why I indicated I would buy a DRRI. If the Rivera era amp is in top condition it will be worth more in the longrun than a reissue.
