200w Amp Suggestions

After 15 years I sold my GK 400RB-ii back to its original owners, who sold it to me with a CW 215 cab for $100. They're touring again and I haven't played out in a few years.

It felt like the right thing to do, but I'm a little heartbroken and now without an amp. So I'm looking for recommendations for a 200w amp in the less-than-$1000 range. Options seem limited and I'm currently eyeing the Ampeg SVT Micro. Thoughts?

The Micro VR is a really cool head...I've been using it a lot lately and it sounds great and looks way cool. But the PF350 sounds and costs the same, does more wattage, and fits in a laptop bag. Unless you have the 210av cab it's designed to pair with, I'd go with the PF350 if you go that route.
