I have owned two mesas in my life time. The first was a Mark IV and the second one is a dual rec. (this is my current one I am using now)
The Mark IV sounded great for about two months then all of a sudden it started to loose it tone and warmth. I had the tubes checked and everything else and they couldn't find anything wrong, Thats when I traded it in and got the rectifier. I play mostly metal and must say I am disappointed with it. I just can't seem to get the tone I thought it should have. Now that being said it's still a nice sounding amp but just to loose of a distortion for me, I guess I'm looking for something thats a bit tighter sounding. ( I am now looking at Krank and Randall and maybe Diamond)
I haven't been playing out much lately so I haven't been moving to quickly on getting something new but I have recently started jamming again so I guess the time is now.
All in all from my experience they are decent amps that are somewhat reliable (just my experience) and if your looking for something loud then there are no worry's in that department. I personally think that it's one of those products that the name plays a big part in the popularity department.
I hope this somewhat helps,

Boogies definitely have their own sound. The Mark series is the evolution of high gain tone from a Fender-style amp. (i.e., 6L6 based power amp, high gain preamp). The Dual Rec is Boogie's take on the Soldano SLO, which is the evolution of a high gain Marshall style amp (i.e., EL34 based power amp, high gain preamp). And the classic Marshall amp is based on a Fender amp (tweed Bassman) which in turn was based on a Western Electric circuit.
Also how the amp is designed in terms of where the tone controls are placed in the preamp contributes to the sound. Here is a classic article that explains it:

Boogies are well-made, but have lots of circuity packed into a small area, at least the newer ones have. They are also expensive, but not overly so. They also seem to keep a tight reign over their dealers so they are not as widely available as some amps.
