Yeah I've played through many Marshall DSL's, and they do the job let's say!
I'll always take at least 2 guitars for a spare, and also tuning changes, its nice to have an extra guitar that will sound good on a particular song.
Never really looked at Hughes and Kettner, not alot of people have them on the live gig circuit for some reason. Not where I play anyway.
Plus if you're looking to make extra cash from this, it would be too expensive.
A used amp is probably the best route. In the US (you live in the US?) there are probably tons of Line6, Marshalls, Fenders and Peaveys easily available. I think Line6 would also have some options.
