This amp is built to last a lifetime. Not many products have that kind of life span. My guitar teacher has a tube amp that he made 30 years ago. It works great.
If for some reason you don't want your Mesa anymore, the resell price is really close to the sale price....it doesn't lose it's value.
Why buy a sub par amp and be unhappy with it, then sell it and buy a Mesa later? Buy a Mesa now and SAVE money.
Buying an amp that you like encourages practice because you ENJOY playing. Best of luck!
EDIT- If it's your money that you earned, there isn't a lot they can do to stop you from buying it. Although I wouldn't recomend buying it behind their back, remind them that you worked hard to get your money. Tell them that you learned an important lesson: If you work hard you can get what you want.
Tell them that you will keep this skill when you are working in the work force. Tell them that this experiance helped you build a work ethic that many parents envy in their child.
Be reasonable, kind, and show them the facts, and with time you will probably get what you want.
