If I turned down the volume to accommodate the room size, it lost tone. I ended up returning it.

I can't speak to your specific circumstances, but I also demo-ed and then returned a SoloAmp.

To my ears the BagAmp is warmer, somehow more musically-user-friendly to the ears.

YMMV, but that's my take on things.

This morning I decided to remove my front-end gear, and simply plug the guitar straight into the BA (as I did just the first few minutes of testing, last night). I can report that it was pretty direct (not too much knob-twisting) in producing a very good sound with going straight in. I'm even more impressed, now.
