with that said, i have wondered if something like the mesa pre along with a 2:50 or 50/50 or possibly even a 20/20 might work for me.

I currently have a Genz Benz GFLEX 2x12 - but will likely upgrade that to a 4x12 simply to have something that rolls and also breathes a little more.

The 50 watt VHT (or whatever they are called now) has been another thought - still with the mesa pre in front of it..

Further comments on what I've said would be appreciated.. would I be hurting myself by getting the 20/20?
I dare you to crank a 20/20 on a small stage in a small club Yeah, it'd be the ideal one - you'll be able to get SOME power tube working, and that's a big part of the tone you're looking for.
