Twin Reverb Vs. Deluxe Reverb

I have the awful problem of wanting a Twin Reverb! The super clean sound with Reverb & Vibrato is awesome. Fender has just gone up on their amps in the last few weeks, and I was offered an out the door deal on a "65"RI Twin Reverb that would save me a couple of hundred bucks. I also played a new, Deluxe Reverb (not sure if it was an RI) for about 45 minutes at pretty loud volumes, at the same store. I really like the DR and I'm sure the Twin would be awesome too.

I will rarely ever get to push a twin very hard.

I just bought and modified a blues Jr to be a clean sounding, portable practice amp, that is pedal friendly.

is the DR like the twin just a 1x12 22watt version?

I want something more powerful that then B-jr for home use and the occasional louder gig. The B-jr is a light amp for a small practice space.

Here is the dollar factor to consider.

65RI Twin $1,150.00 out the door (new)
Deluxe Reverb $700.00 OTD (Used/Like New with the foot switch & all the papers)

Open to suggestion.
