The little Berringer head and an existing cabinet is certainly more versatile than a "stand alone or all-in-one". I use a Carvin or Yamaha powered head and a variety of cabinets, depending on the job. If you got a powered stereo mixer, you'd also have the stereo situation controlled. My little 200 watt Yamaha has 8 channels, on-board effects and weights about 10 lb. You can set it up to power 4 cabinets or two cabinets and two monitors. It's a current EMC model-$349.00, I think. But, there are similar, and less expensive Berringers of similar specs.
