what do you guys think

Right now Im in the market for a bigger amp, i came across a Sunn 1200s head (400@8ohm, 800@4ohm, and 1200@2ohm) and two newer peavey 410 cabinets (8ohm each), for $700. The only problem is I would have to ship it from Florida, I live in michigan. OH well what do you guys think.
 
I think that it's a pretty decent deal but shipping is going to kill you. I'd see if the seller's willing to sell only the head and you can buy the cabs locally. Peavey 4x10's are common and inexpensive (heavy too, but what do I know, I schlep a 90lb Trace cab around), so you shouldn't have a problem finding that, or a cab you might like better, locally.

Keep the change
 
Pretty good deal, but the shipping would make it more expensive than it's worth. I've never played a 1200S but hear they are good amps and they do come up from time to time on ebay. You might check there for one if this seller won't sell the head separately. Agreed about finding cabs locally.
