As far as price is concerned, they've always been a bargain: I scored mine in 2010 for $300 @ GC (got about $500 total invested in amp and upgrades), picked up the baby-brother V5 combo for $139 (also @ GC), and scored the T5 and T50 "cage" heads for 20% off during recent holiday sales @ Sweetwater - and if you're in need of a compact setup for coffeehouse/small-restaurant/cocktail-hour gigs and home practice (and have a compact extension cab lying around) that T5 it a real little tone monster, with headroom far beyond its modest 5W rating...

As much as I jumped on the Mustang GTX100 band wagon I'm waiting for a deal on the Bugera's..I'd buy the V5 and T5-50 when they hit a Fathers day sale or something
