Which is (in your opinion) the best 500 watt Combo amp, and why?

I know what some of you are saying, "But the XXX combo is better than all of those and it's only 450 watts!", or "Hey...YYY combo is cheaper and better and it's 650 watts!". Well, a line was drawn, and that line is 500 watts.

"And Saint Attila placed the amplifier up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy many cones that with it Thou mayest blow Thine guitarists to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... ... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou decide the Holy Wattage, then shalt thou count to 500, no more, no less. 500 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 500. 600 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 400, excepting that thou then proceed to 500. 750 is right out. Once the number 500, being the blessed number, be reached, then pluckest thou thy Holy Precision Bass of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
