Subject:Combo amps revisited

My last search for the ultimate keyboard combo amp ended up being small Yorkville PA cabinets, 400w stereo amp and Behringer mixer. While this rig is adequately loud and good sounding, there are times when I would rather have a one-does-it-all amp, without having to hook-up all these #$%^&@ cables, just plug-in and play.

I'm back to looking at combo amps....particularly the stereo Crate KX-220 (probably two of them). Crate amps are apparently made by Ampeg, so I'm presuming these are decent amps. The features on this particular model are 90% of what I'm looking for. It also resembles the Roland KC-550 quite a bit.

Has anyone out there tried the Crate, and care to offer an opinion. I'd have to order special up here in Canada, and there would be no sending back.

TIA,
Steve B.
