Ampeg 210 combos 300 and 600

I was just looking at the Ampeg Combo amps 210's on their website and I was wondering if any one would be able to differentiate between the two. Like is it just about more volume with the 600 watt amp over the 300 watt 210?

Not too much of a volume difference in those watts with just 210s or a fifteen. It's more of a selling point and also with 600 watts you can do a lot more with an extension cab (those combos do have speaker outs, yeah?). Although I've heard those combos are nothing but trash...I would stay away.

+1 not Ampeg's best offering.

No speaker outs, that's why I decided not to get one. That and the reviews...

Doesn't Ampeg have a real nice 210 combo? Maybe one no longer in production?

Its either that or I have to get a 210 cab to go with my Little Mark II head. I have one 112 Schroeder cab and one Epifani PS 112.

I wanted to get one of the Ampeg combo's but not being able to add an extension cabinet turned me off. I ended up with the GK MB210 with a 210MBE cab. I still like Ampegs though.
