I have one. Very flexible. Sounds great and it can push 4 cabs. VERY heavy. The fan is a little noisy when no one is playing. Make sure it is secure in both the front AND the back of the rack. casters on a rack are convenient but can be tube killers when you roll it across a rough surface when they're hot (ie; rushing on and off stage or across the parking lot to your truck)
Now, about it's versatility. Its just raw power. You can put any preamp in front of this and it will sound good. I have found that tube pre amps respond better that modeling type pre amps. Modelers are fun to tinker with and program. The tone downloads are endless on the web. I just think they're thin and lack any life. Tube pre's have an organic feel and respond better to your playing.
Nofearfactor, try your setup without the HUSH and the Maximizer. IMO they are tone killers.
