I'm looking for a new practice amp and have narrowed it down to these two. Opinions?

| | | | I had an Ampeg BA112 a while back and despite its decent tone, it delivered the least bang for the buck among just about everything I've ever owned. It wasn't bad for a practice amp where I'd be playing by myself, but it needed PA help to make enough sound for any sort of jamming with other instruments. Just my experience. |

| | | | I have a BA115 and and an MB115 and the Gallien MB blows it away. Double the watts, way lighter, and just plain sounds better. |

I found a pretty decent deal on a used Roland Cube 100. How does that combo compare to the GK and/or Ampeg?
