Just because you have 200watts doesnt mean you have to use it all the time, I personally rarely turn up to ear blistering volumes. The main advantage is at gigging volumes i basically have infinite headroom, so my tone remains constant at about any volume that I use in practice or on stage. The problem with lesser watt heads is they may sound clean and perfect at practice volumes but when you take it on the stage and turn up you all of a sudden start getting break up and your clean tone isn't the same and your pedals react differently. That's just my take on it.

I agree! Your opinion is definitely valid. But not all of us have the same tonal goals. I like having a squeeky clean base tone and using pedals to modify it as I need. So say I want to simulate the sound of an LSTR slamming the front end of an amp on slight breakup, so I'll put an OD on slight breakup after it in the chain. Which is the entire basis of my custom Burial Chamber pedal, I can have a clean base line tone and add breakup to it if necessary.

Yup I can do individual on/offs and then the master on/off in case I have a part in a song where I have both on then go to completely clean so i can do it with one step instead of two.
