If you don't need a lot of power then this head is great. The tone/voice is just wonderful and gives you the best of both worlds as far as pre-amp goes.

I had one of the older 3500 heads (Mosfet) that was awesome.  I toured with this head and a Transporter 410 for years and it neve let me down.  The XL cabs are heavier but they have a better low end than the TP cabs.

I agree with MikeGee that the the preamp blend is really nice.

would this be better than the peavey max 450?

between the 2 I'd go with the Hartke then, I'd be glad to pay more for the Hartke.

Congrats on the purchase. I would also invest in the Boss GEB-7 eq pedal. I had one to go with my head, it help out tremendously.
