I'll probably go for the Rumble and Bassman models. Maybe use the SWR one for flanger and envelope filter. The move to me is more about convenience and consolidation than about amp modeling. I'm more then happy to dig into effects and dirt and stuff but 90% of the time a Rumble with the vintage and OD both on is all I need.
I'm still not 100% sold on moving to the Stage but I'd say I'm like 90% sold on it.

The threads are split by models? Why? Arent we a big rumble family?Please, that's what the Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 sub-thread is for. Let's not bother the non-modeling Rumblers here, please.

I am with you there. My R200C is really more than I need at present. My Studio 40 (which I can't mention here) is nice to have for practice, portability and playing around but I probably would have been served just as well with the R40C. If I need more power in the future, I would probably sell the R200c, the unmentionable and pick up an R500C, keeping the R15 Cab just because I like 15's.
Basically, the modeling threads tend to be very involved with specialty things that don’t ‘apply’ to many non modeling amp owners. Real nitty gritty discussions that can at times dominate a discussion with only one or three folks participating. It is sort of like ‘For more detail, go here’.

Reasons to be cheerful, part 1: All of the family that I care about is or will soon be in France.
Reasons to be cheerful, part 2: My niece subdivided her property and was going to sell it (ex not paying child support), so I'm buying it and building a little Romanian wood house on it. Putting it all in a French trust with my niece as beneficiary, so it stays in the family. She's also the closest I ever came to having kids of my own. We were close when she was 5 to 6 and living with me, my 2 brothers, and her mother (they were all in chiro school and I was working).
Here she is with her two teenage kiddos.
Reasons to be cheerful, part 3: The area where I'm moving (Arcachon) is awesome. Fresh oysters right out of the flushing tank. 6€ per dozen. What 2 that are a couple of days old would cost here. The largest sand dune in Europe. It's a summer destination for Parisiens, but for the other 10 months of the year, it's blissful. 1 hour southwest of Bordeaux. 2 hours north of Spain. I really can't wait.
Reasons to be cheerful, part 4: Politics. I changed my last name a long time ago. I have a cousin who just made it to the U.S. House of Reps after a couple of decades in state government (not going to say which state). I deplore his and most of my family's politics.
Sorry you asked?

They have interwebs over there, right? So you aren't really leaving us, right?
It's hard for me to see a future where 200 watts into 2 15s won't cut it. Maybe outdoors with no PA? I have a feeling your 200C is in no danger of being replaced!
I really felt I didn’t need anything but beautiful 200c until I plugged in the 210 ext. cab and Wow!
Anyone ever have a sympathetic vibration in a combo amp? The 500c I picked up has a buzz on certain notes and was curious if others experienced that. It can be muted if you press on the center of the amp housing, so I guess I’ll pull the amp out and see about insulating anything that looks like it could be the cause.
This is what I am up to tomorrow. Fender Rumble Club
I may do this as well. Dayton Audio - PA200-8 8" PA Woofer 8 Ohm

Is the "buzz" coming from the amp or the bass? Recently, I had the same happen to me and found that, my lower action and new, heavier strings, necessitated a minor, new set up to raise the strings. If it is coming from the amp, then you are on the right track, IMHO.
