If you can find a deal on a Walkabout get it. I have owned a lot of amps but never owned one as long as I have owned my Walkabout.

Also Bassman 500 head and Bassman 800 head? What's your budget? And what's you cabinet choices?Fender Rumble 500 head
Fender Bassman 300 tube head
What's your max budget?
I've heard good things about those, but I guess I'm looking for just a head as I like to mix and match cabs when needed
Have you called Downtown Sounds in Northampton? They may be able to ship the Little Mark somewhere to get an authorized repair. If not, Jane at the Luthier's Co-op in Easthampton can probably recommend a good repair person in the area (tell her Ian's friend Andy sent you).
If you're just going to get a new amp, I have had a GK MB-500 for years and it has never failed. It's got that bright GK sound, so if that's what you're after, the MB-500 is rock-solid and would make a good choice.
