All Mesa Boogie amps are worth owning but for rectifier tubes vs diodes I prefer solid state for higher wattage amps because of the extra tube maintinence. If you got a million bucks yes but nobody is going to know the diffrence live anyway.One thing to mention is that Mesa/Boogie puts a lot of effort into their preamp sections to replicate older/sucessful model tones going into those outputs but best to invest in the amps that have the output power you desire pref 90-100 Watts. I scaled down from a 60/100W MK III 4x12 to a Nomad 45 1x12 20 years ago. Now I want my 60/100 back with a good 4X12. You can always use a ts8 or whatever.. Never needed that. I used to run one in the effects loop also sounded killer!
