Actually,Line 6 has just come out with the Spider II series of amps.You could get a 2x12 Spider II combo for around $500 or a head for around $400.Theres also a 2x10 and a 1x12 combo too I think.Line 6 stuff is reliable from what ive seen and for the price,you can't do much better.The flextones are a bit overpriced and arnt worth the extra money over the spider II's in my opinion.
They look sick too.

Later! \m/
