Seems to me that the best deal out there for a vintage amp that won't break your bank account has to a Silverface Princeton, in the original configuration without reverb... I've seen those as low as $500 for a reasonably clean one; I think we had one on our classified section earlier this year for $600 that looked VERY clean.
With all the outboard reverb choices these days, shouldn't be too hard to find a decent reverb to add to that amp...
Now, a SF Princeton Reverb? That would be twice the price, at minimum...
I agree with you; I am a "Fender amp" guy, even though I play a Gibson electric. Feel lucky to have a very clean '75 Deluxe Reverb that actually cost me LESS than the reissue version...
