Need opinions on amp please.

[BassNGuns]

I now have an Ampeg B2 combo.
It's 1x15 and 240w, (350w if I were to add another cab).
I play classic rock.
This amp has amazed me with how well it has cut through everything and I've still been able to hear it.
The only problem is that it's a little too heavy, 87lbs.
So, I'm looking for another rig and this is what it's boiled down to. Do you think these might be loud enough for a loud guitar and drums?
I've also added a couple of cons.

Genz Benz 6.0 210T combo (although I've heard it's kind of delicate and not as road worthy)

Markbass 103 combo - But it's not expandable

Markbass 102 combo

They should be loud enough on their own. More than enough if you add an extension cab.

Never heard the 210 called "delicate". Didn't seem that way to me.

I played through the Markbass 210 and really liked it. But if you are going to add an extension cab later I'd go with the Genz Benz. But then I'd start with the 6.0/112t combo and add another 12.

Thanks for your response.
But just curious: Why the 112t over the 210t?

I've used the B-2 combo for 10 years. I power the cab with a different head now, but I still use the single 15" paired with a Trace Elliot 4x10". I've used Ampeg,Crate,Carvin,Hartke,Aguilar,Peavey,Trace Elliot and other cabs and I still use the Ampeg. Do yourself a favor and hold on to it! Get a 2x10" ext. cab to pair up with it. -Luke

I preferred the tone of the 112. The 210 seemed a little "harsh", not quite as warm and well rounded when cranked. I want a vintage tone. Bet the 210 cuts through the mix well though.....I never played the 210 in a band setting.

I ended up with a Shuttle 6.0 and the Neox212 and never run out of volume or power. Its half the weight of your rig, if a little awkward at times.

Not sure where you heard this but the entire Shuttle line was designed as an international touring product, specifically designed for our pro players to use for fly dates as well as truck & bus tours. They have racked up millions of reliable touring miles.
