If you have lots of dough, go for it. If you budget, get something suitable that will last for a while.
I can vouch for the longevity of these 80's era Peavey amps, but older is not always a good thing by itself. Your components can literally dry up over time.
I personally would recommend some kind of 15 watt tube amp. Fender, Vox, Traynor and many others make them.
That said, if you are running a pedal board and using amp sims, a solid state amp will me more trouble-free and arguably a better choice.
I'm not sure of the exchange from Cdn currency, but it looks like you could do better for your money.
I'll mostly be playing some rock, kind of a mix between classic rock and new rock. Possibly a bit of "soft" metal too.
As for a tube amp, the thought has occurred to me, but most tube amps I've seen were incredibly expensive.
I've got a couple of pedals, but how many are needed to run a "pedal board", I don't know.
I don't plan on going for one of those cheap budget-amps, though. another amp I've seen is a brand-new (as in not used once) Fender Mustang III, which would cost me roughly 300 Euros where I've seen it, but again, I don't know if it's worth the money.
