hi, my take on this is that marshalls are really expensive. i have a line 6 and it is great is has tons of effects and amp models. for instance a 120W spider 3 has lots effects based on marshall amps from back in the 70s. so technicaaly line six put marshal effects into their amp and created an amp for a lower cost. conclusion: i would go with line 6 instead of marshall and save some money
