Amp Selection - Genz Benz Contour vs Rumble 500

I've had both. Picked up a Contour 210 from Marketplace on a whim for $200.
The Fender is gone and I won't be parting with the Contour. It can get surprisingly loud.
Wow, that's kind of a screaming deal...
 
I thought so too. Been looking for one of the 15" extension cabs since I bought it, but they are hard to find in these parts. Fell pretty confident that's about all I would ever need to cover most live situations. The combo alone has been plenty with a loud drummer and guitar in a smaller room.
When I got mine it was the last one in stock according to my dealer. I got lucky, I've seen mostly higher end Genz-Benz speakers for sale used mostly Uber and before but never a Contour cab.

The Focus series are the same basic cabinet as the Contour extension cabinets with different cosmetics
