    coachj,

    After looking at all the comments, I don't think you can go wrong with the two you noted or a couple of others that were mentioned. As I noted in my first response, it all comes down to what you like.

    Some things to consider:

    1) If possible, take your amp with you to try them out - even the ones you already tried. It would be great if the store has an amp that is the same as yours.

    2) Take a friend that plays - have them listen and give you some comments. Then let them play it and you stand back and listen.

    Good luck and give us progress updates.
