A pic of the gains set on each amp would be fine to start with and since most have the identical equipment one could conclude that the settings could be relatively the same within the same boat.
That would be true IF all the equipment is identical and IF the system you are emmulating is tuned optimumly in the first place. IMO, there is a definitely a right and wrong way. I'm seeing this as no more than an over-simplified shortcut that will leave your system under-performing. If one route seems good enough or logical enough then follow that. You are fortuneate to get the benefit of the knowledge and experience whether or not you use it.
