Anyone else prefer a small combo into a PA instead of a big rig?

So for the longest time I took my full rig to all my gigs and practices, but more and more I am finding my little combo amp with my nice tube DI is getting the job done in every setting. My band has a decent JBL PA so I never play in a setting without a PA. I DI to the PA and monitor with my combo amp. It gets the job done and my load in is cut in half.
Anyone else finding the big rig stays at home?

Nope.srs...see above thread of mine haha.jk

Umm Ive never been satisfied without my big rig behind me.

Un less its our Yorkville elite PA we use if anything.

Really depends on the gig for me, saying that I need to submit my mini rig of doom c lub picture...still...

Bottom line is as much as I feel like it is best to have extra amp available, to have it an not need it vs need it and not have it, I also like to not have to lug more than I need to any gig.
