I know Crate watts are not quite the same as Fender watts, but if 50 watts isn't anywhere near enough, the Twin will at least have to be in the area, particularly with a decent overdrive goosing it, where it's beginning to sing.
It's going to be loud, but it sounds if that's what you might need. If your lead tone is of the "edge of distortion" variety, it should work. If you need total, all out legato enabling saturation, it's going to be RFL: your band mates and most club owners will hate you. Every soundman that sees you carting that amp in the door is going to make a mental note to tell you to turn down. (They'll all think "Oh god, a young kid with a Twin", that was me 40 years ago, so I speak from experience.) Might was well wear a shirt with REALLY LOUD GUITAR PLAYER on it.
There are some intemediary stages available here. Vibrolux, Pro, and Super Reverbs, in order of loudness (and a plethora of other amps from Fender and others) would all be possible alternatives if you don't quite need what a Twin has to offer in terms of sheer volume and headroom. I'd skip the Vibrolux if you're in a Ted Nugent Tribute Band.
There's a lot of ground between the Crate and the Twin.
