Yamaha THR10 or THR10C

Who's actively chosen one over the other, and why?

I went for the Thrioc because of the nice Cornish-sounding name. That and the amp models seemed more my taste - more varieties of classic cleanish sounds, rather than flavours of gain.

got the C cos it was more to my tastes

I got the regular one as my wife preferred the colour ;-) (meaning it's allowed to stay in the living room). 

 Sound wise I've got some great classic rock sounds from it, and I've not even hooked it up to the laptop yet to tweak anything.

I play clean ,I don't have a THR 10, I have never seen a THR 10.
Just wanted to say that the demos I have seen of the THR 10X have really impressed me, including the solitary/token clean sound. I am tempted.
This may be because I play loud and clean at home through a Tweed combo so those bases might be covered already.

I went for the standard THR10 because I preferred its colour and there was one going for a good price on ebay.

On bertie's recommendation I too purchased a C. Great little amp - it's just the wrong colour. It should be green and the X should be black. I bought a C as I preferred a classic boutique sound [less gain].

Andertons have a series of videos that explain the tonal differences and have some clips.

@TTony, are you going to the London meet, this Wednesday (25th)?
If you are I could bring the THR10 and you could have a proper go this time.

I reckon I shall be buying myself the C for xmas.

Good to see all the love for the THR, I have been banging this particular drum for about 18 months now and it is great to see others catching on.

I don't know for sure - provenance is slightly lacking on this guitar - but it looks like Korina, which would also explain the weight.  However, Nathan being Nathan M&S, it wouldn't be just *any* Korina!

Yes, that looks like the best YT comparison (thanks dd for posting the vid too).  I'm just going to have to keep watching that over & over and trying to ignore the annoying twonk from Andertons who keeps butting in.

I am leaning towards the 10C.  Because it's black, obviously.

This good PhilX articulates why low gain amps are great

And this .. recorded on a Les Paul

I went for a standard thr.   I'll add that the new models had just been announced and I thought about waiting to compare them and then saw a used one in new condition for a bargain price,  but I'd pretty much decided that the fleixbility of the standard model was enough - I use all the amp models so I'm very happy with it.   
For a home amp offers a close enough and great sounding version of clean, crunchy, high gain and silly gain sounds to cover everything I need to practise.

Keep in mind it can also be used to make music.

Boo, I forgot to have a go with it.
