I traded my 40watt Hot Rod Deluxe for a Vox AC15, but I've been very pleased with the results. Practice with the band, and I was still able to be plenty loud with room to spare on the volume dials... (I guess it matters how "clean" you want to be) but I really can't believe people saying you can't gig with one of these. We're not playing anything gigantic, and I can always mic and throw it through the PA...

Another plus is I think I can definitely get the tubes to their sweet spot without blowing people's faces off. When I find the 15 isn't doing it for the small gigs I imagine I'll report back but It's doing great so far. I guess when i reach that point I'll have to shoot for an ac30. Currently, very pleased with my choice and the tones it has been creating :-) Anyone else have a similar "downsize" experience?
