Depends on what "cheaper" means.? Too many hams will cheap out at every possible opportunity, frequently to their detriment later.
You can see today that the Alpha has a much greater retained value.? It probably has better engineering.? Another consideration is the availability of replacement finals down the line.?
As a perennial contributor here used to say, "horses for courses."? Your considerations for amp purchase won't be the same as those of other hams.? If it's ONLY "cheap" -- then I have a D&A Phantom amp I'll sell for real cheap.

Q: ?Alpha 76 or FL2100B amp...which to buy.? I have seen one of each at reasonable prices.? I see the 2100 has no top band (pity) and the Alpha looks cosmetically a bit better but the 2100 is cheaper...by far.
