Best combo / rig for under £500

Hello, i play in a hard rock band but cannot decide on an amp /cab or combo.

I tried a trace elliot 710x not overly impressed, i tried that with a standard american jazz ( i play a mia jazz), then i tried the ashdown abm c210t 500, i loved the sound of it but i decided to use a musicman stingray instead, and part of me thinks the sound was more to do with the bass than the amp.

Ive owned a gk backline 600 + peavey 4x10 a few years back and it didnt sound to bad, so ive been considering maybe a GK product.

Was just wondering if anyone else had any ideas, i dont mind if its a combo or a stack, thanks

There is no best.
Go used, you get more bang for the buck. If your band is loud then look at maybe a 212 or 410 cab and minimum 300 watts @ 8oms on the amp. The rest is up to your ears as what will or will not work for you tonally. Just try as much gear as you can in your price range.
