I would avoid Laney, the first amp I ever had was a Laney mighty fifty, it spent more time being repaired than working!

I haven’t played the XXX but I have had other Peavey amps in the past and all of them have been horrible. OK for death metal but not much else.

Soldano amps are very very seriously nnnniiiiiicccccceeeeeeeee to the point where your head just wants to explode with total happiness ! Total tone monsters. However the cost of these amps also makes your head explode with total despair. Used for lots of crisp Hi gain stuff.

I really like Mesa kit but unfortunately they are also very expensive!

I’m playing a CE24 at the moment and although I have never tried it with a Mesa, I would put money down it would sound fantastic, same with the Soldano!. The closest I have got to the Soldano is the POD imitations and that is fairly orgasmic !

As you don’t seem to be into to really high gain distortion I would think seriously about the Mesa, If you can find a second hand one that looks like it had a good first home, it may be worth thinking about. Also with Mesa, don’t be fooled by there size, the last one I went any where near (little 50 W combos) could take out windows at about 30 yards……very loud !
