I have never played the Tunnels but I don't enjoy going to gigs there, the layout pisses me off and I think it lacks atmosphere. Just my opinion.

What similar sized venues in Glasgow are you referring to, exactly?

I think the Tunnels is quality. They do a lot of good work for the Aberdeen music 'scene' in general and also put on great touring and out-of-town bands. I agree the layout isn't great, but the atmosphere can be brilliant there - the Jonah Matranga gigs over the past couple of years particularly spring to mind.

As far as gigging there goes, they give you a chance to get started off and I find them very willing to accomodate DIY gigs. The stage in Tunnels 2 is pretty cramped, but I've always been happy with the onstage sound in both rooms. Infact, it's probably the best onstage sound I've experienced in Aberdeen, possibly with the exceptions of Lemon Tree and Moshulu.
