Listen to Alex Lifeson's Guitar solo on "Cut to the Chase" from Counterparts (artists+Rush), that's tone to kill for and that's a PRS. Santana Loves 'em too. Now ask yourself two questions:

1) how much you'd have to shell out on an amp and effects unit to justify that quality.
2) how much better would you feel (and perhaps consequently play) if you went on a holiday somewhere warm and mellow?

I remember when I bought myself a Gallien Kreuger amp second hand after I'd played only 3 years. Frankly I felt upstaged by my own amp! It was almost embarrasing! I take it from the fact that you're considering that sort of expense that you are either:

a) filthy rich
b) **** hot
