I see many discuss feature differences, but how do they compare regarding TONE quality.

I am comparing these since they both have similar price and LCD screens.

I'm having a tough time deciding. I would really like the GDEC blues version with backing tracks, but I love the way models are setup and more knobs on the Mustang.

BTW: Can I play backing tracks on my iPhone thru the AUX in on both of these so I can here the track thru the speakers?

Tone wise I think they are very similar. They probably use the same DSP chips anyway.

The extra knobs for eq are a nice edition on the mustang, but once you get used to the GDEC its still pretty easy to quickly change bass/mid/treble via the menus.

However in my mind the GDEC is only really a practice amp. If you want to gig or jam with others the get the mustang.

Of course if you just want a good practice amp then the backing tracks on the GDEC are great. You can play backing tracks on the mustang via the aux in port like you mention, but the best thing about the GDEC is way the presets are matched to the track. The example I always mention is that I have know idea how to get a country tone, but with the GDEC i just dialed in a preset and then played along. Its really opened me up to new styles.
