I can't really say much about the JVM as I've never really gotten in front of one before. I haven't played the JCM800 ReIssue either but I can't imagine them being that different from the original.
I really dig the simplicity of any amp, to me, versatility means problematic and more junk compromising pure tone. That's what originally drove me to the 800's in the first place, they are the most simple of all the Marshall amps and if you have a good knack for tweaking things in an amp there are a million different tonal possibilities.
I suppose if you want more versatility the JVM would do it over the 800 but I can't really say much about the tone since I haven't heard the JVM in person. Let us know what you pick.
