Gigging perhaps...but just playing in a small group or church venue doesn't necessarily require a 410.
With regards to the original question, I'd recommend looking into slightly bigger amps, in the 150-200W range. Definitely stick with a combo if you're looking to practice. These slightly larger amps seem to be able to handle more, especially when you start coloring the signal with effects (fuzz/distortion, etc.) They usually don't run much more than $300-400 and are very versatile.
From my own experience, I recommend a GK combo, like the MB115 (200W).
