Well I personally think they sound great and alot of people use them but if you want to pay a little more and have a lightweight amp maybe look for an orange OB1 or an acoustic 360

For two and a half years I played bass in a five piece band that included drums, synths, guitars, lap steel, kaoss pad, all sorts of heavy noises and tones. I ran a Sansamp bass driver into an Ampeg PF-500 head with a SVT 4x10HE. And I know its not going to rumble as hard as an SVT PRO with an 8x10 but I aint lugging that shit around on tour playing small venues and not seeing any scratch for it. But that set up slayed and was versatile as heck. Team Awesome Fuzz Machine in gated mode through that ripped and had so much low end.
I think the Portaflex series is Class D... I really couldn't tell you. It was small, portable, and kicked out the volume to support four dudes making wild noises. If you aren't getting paid but having fun/being creative, save yourself the back ache and get a portable rig.

These seem way more common, I'll try to check one out! Thanks!

Why a lot of us hate them? They lack that kicking you in the chest type of punch that a conventional amp has. Also they lack moral fiber.

Whatever you get having a DI out option is good. going direct into the DI with pedals at a show can suck and it should sound a bit better at least through your preamp.
But depending on the band I don't even hate going direct to DI for my whole sound at shows, so I'm a bad person and you shouldn't listen to me
