which combo should I buy/look for?

JC	which combo should I buy/look for? Excuse for using this forum for making this question: I always wanted to have a "portable" tube combo, and now I think it could be the time to get one, but I don't want to make a big "mistake" like I "did" when I bought my actual Orange and cab I can´t move a single inch from the floor -a GREAT sounding amp, btw-. And, too, I am now so used to the great sound it delivers (amp plus vintage 4x12 cab) that makes my possible decision much harder. Which could be a good allaround combo? New or vintage. I like Fender sounds. I have a Bullet Deluxe and a Strat with '50 custom shop pu's that I love. I mean, I prefer to hear my guitar's tone, maybe with some "sweetness" added, over any other fancy options. Mesa's Subway Rocket? Those new? 50w Crate combos? Or maybe an original or RI Fender? I'll really appreciate your opinions and experience, so I can focus my search on something good for my blues "sessions" with my friends Thank you. jc
