Tossing up between 2 combo amps...

[1CrookedVulture]

No, not what you think... ... Or is it?

Anyway, I'm in the market for a "reasonably priced" amp. After eliminating anything I really don't want, and anything I can't afford, I'm down to two choices - a Hiwatt Maxiwatt B300, or a Kustom KB200.
I can get the KB200 for (up to) $60 cheaper than the B300 (on eBay), so is the extra justified? Is the B300 significantly louder than the KB200? I'm not overly concerned about tone, etc - as long as it doesn't sound like a f***ing Behringer (my present amp - fortunately borrowed from my brother) - I just need it to be loud enough to do gigs in small-ish venues and reliable.
I can't try them out, as I haven't seen either in any music shops local to me.

You're buying on ebay and getting them shipped to you? Shipping will cost a bundle!

Have you priced stuff on mail-order places like American Musical or Musicians Friend or Sweetwater? Their shipping is sometimes free or if not free, at least priced reasonably, plus you will get a warranty on their stuff.

You don't have Craigslist or any used opportunities around you?

Ah, forgot to mention where I am... Australia, so any of the US-based webshops are no good for me.
Shipping's free for the B300, and $35-$50 for the KB200. Already had a good look at the used ads in my area, and all the amps available in my price range are 160w or less.
