If you play GK, you are already familiarized with its response and controls, so you might be way more comfortable with it. Especially if you go back and forth between them.
Note that I am a huge Line 6 fan, I got a lot of their stuff, including the Variax bass, so I like the Lowdown too.
My choice on that size ended up being a MarkBass CMD121P that I got on sale for around 600, but they are usually more expensive.
Cheers!

I would suggest you check out this link for a Fender600combo, not cheap but at least you can use the head by itself if you need to .

I would recommend one of these Carvin combos:

Plenty of power in a lightweight package.

You are on the right track with the G-K MB210! Seriously.
