I don't know it's hard to say. I have a DSL100 that collects dust and two 800's that are abused regularly if that tells you anything.

I've been wanting to get the chance to sit down with a couple different 900's for a couple days and see if those are too my liking but I can get every tone I could ever want out of my 2203 and 2204, sometimes with the assistance of a stomp box. I haven't played the VM, or JVM at all. Really not had a desire to since those aren't the amps you see when going out to a big show. (Slash uses a VM, I know, I know..)
I like the Marshall RI's of the 1959SLP and 1987x.
I wouldn't say they're making terrible amps I just like the older stuff better. I don't really know why they would stop making some of the amps that are still classics but I guess they realize that old fogies can't buy amps when they're dead and young players just want gain monsters.
