I've got several Vox amps and have owned several others. For an AC15 or AC30 to sound "right," it has to have Celestion Blue or Gold speakers. Other speakers may sound good to you but they aren't the classic voice of the amp. The CC1 with a Celestion Gold and the CC2 with two Celestion Blues are pretty similar as to headroom, volume, coverage, etc. Though there's probably some coverage differences and extra three dimensionality with two Blues over one Gold, it's not a big difference. If weight and size is a concern the CC1, though still HEAVY, is less so than the CC2. And as to whether an AC15 is enough, they're great amps for the dirtier sonic ranges, they've got substantially less headroom than an AC30. If you want it for live playing and you're not going to need loud clean sounds, an AC15 is great. But the AC30CC1 with a Gold is a vastly more versatile amp, and if you ever need "clean or semi-cleanish with authority" type sounds you won't get them from an AC15 in anything other than small rooms.
