I have seen the Vass Kaan in person and also tried it. I also own many Vass U and F Last shoes/boots . They are good and happy with the price i paid buying directly from Vass.
While welting wise Vass Kaan is better as its hand welted while EG Dovers which are GYW. But Uppers of my Edward Green Dovers are much better quality than Vass and EG also uses a thicker lining which makes a big difference to me.
They Feel more solid to wear, finishing of uppers is better, EG 606 last is more pleasant than F or U Last to my eye, and lastly fit is very good on my feet than Vass F or U Last.
Now price wise Vass Kaan is around 750-850 pounds i think i.e. $1020-$1156 approx and I purchased brand new EG Rosewood Dovers for approx $1000 at Leffot last year so at least for me price was very comparable.
I am more happy to spend my money on something which is iconic, fits me good, uses better quality uppers and has better overall finish and appeal to me while i do understand loyal fans of Vass will disagree and its purely a personal preference.
Only if AM fit was good, i would hands down go with AM Centurian solely coz of Uppers quality and finishing, thicker lining, thin waist, overall aesthetics etc.
