Red Knob Twin $599. Worth it?

Howdy,

My local guitar shop has a red knob "The Twin" for $599. It's in VG condition. I played a Tele through it and she sparkled. FWIW, I'm quite happy with my red knob Super 112 which I've had since '92.
I didn't sample the overdrive or gain channel as this feature doesn't interest me. Like my Super 112 it was made for single coil p/u's (read Fenders!) and I'm impressed with the big, clean tone.
Is this amp worth a closer look at this price? I'd have to do the "lay-away" thing, as I'm cash strapped; so my bargaining power would seemingly be diminished as a result. Please advise.
BTW, my other two amps are a '68 Vibro Champ and a '65 Princeton (BF), the latter really doesn't turn me on that much.

it wouldn't be for me. I'd pass and wait for a silver face for 5-700.00 I see them for that pretty frequently.

I've got 2 of 'em and it's only money that keeps me from getting another.

Henry Kaiser prefers them on the road; he says they're the closest thing he's found to a Dumble clean sound.
