New Amp Dilemma - please help?

[Iron Tyger]

Hi everyone, how's it goin'

I have been playing through a Peavey TNT130 for about 20 years, it has been a solid, reliable awesome member of the family. It has reached the end of its life and I need to buy some new gear. With budget and dealership limitations I need help deciding what to do and I could really do with some 'non-sales' advice.

Option 1 - Laney RB7 2x10 combo + RB115 cab. Versatile, loud (300w) and looks good on stage, but I have been told manufacture problem = bad gear. Sub £600.

Option 2 - Marshall MB4210 2x10 combo + 15" cab. Versatile, loud (450w) and looks good on stage. Sub £700.

Option 3 - Line 6 LowDown 300 Pro. 1x15 combo, Loud (300w), lots of awesome sound options and toys (on board tuner etc) but looks little on stage and cannot take extension speaker. Sub £500.

I am playing 80s rock/metal/pop in small to medium venues with/without stage.

Please can someone offer me some input to help me make the right choice?

The real choice should be made with your ears, as that's all that really matters, but if it were my choice, I'd choose the marshall rig.

me too, but i'd make it either a two 210 or a two 115 rig. i don't like to mix cabs.
