buy why get an MG when you can get a valve junior, vypyr, cube, peavey nano, H&L edition blue...etc.
I think the Marshall MG series is marketed for those folks who want a Marshall stack but can't afford the tube versions; much like the Fender Frontman. They are pretty much entry level amps. I owned an MG100 Head and didn't like the tones at all and wound up selling it, but again, I think we have to keep it in perspective that it's an entry level amp and isn't going to sound as good as a "real" marshall (Plexi, JCM 800).
There's obviously a market out there for amps like the MG series, Frontman amps, etc. I remember my first few amps being Fender solid states.
