Mesa Express 5:50+ or the Mark V?

[cwgatti24]

I have been looking for my next amp. I have an old Express 5:50. All the things that bother me about the 5:50 seem to have been addressed with the PLUS.
I have been shopping hard for a Mark V, but I am beginning to think that the Mark V may be too much amp to handle.

Can you guys give me some pros/cons in this comparison?

Thanks,
Chris

If you have the money, and don't mind the heavier weight, get the Mark V. With the 5:50+ ad a good pedal your 99% there and it's lighter weight. BTW, I used to have a V and I'm now a happy 5:50+ owner.
Do a search for Haggartys music comparison of the V and the 5:50+. It'll give you an idea of the differences.

Don't be a tight *** get the Mark V

If you can swing it the MK v will do anything you need.
