GK MB500

Im considering buying this amp and have a few questions that id appreciate being answered please!
I play death metal, where we primarily play in drop A. I want to get this for practice and smaller gigs/back ups. Id be running it through A GK MBX410 and 210 or a Eden 210 at the most.
What id like to know is, could an amp like this, a microamp, give me enough top end and power to overcome would could be alot of low end?
Im just a little nervous about its capabilites for my specific needs and Ive never owned a microamp.
Also it would probably be replacing an Ampeg B2R (which I love)so id at least hope it could match that.
Any words of wisdom?
Anyone into metal/death metal who has played this?
 
This head will have zero problems handling your needs. It would fart out any of the cabs you mention if you pushed it.
