It sounds good loud, it sounds good quiet, it just sounds good. Concerning taking pedal dirt well and having lots of headroom: let's just say shoegazers use JC for a reason. It's simple, not too expensive, sturdy, and just all things good. If you're happy with the way it sounds, I can't see it being a bad purchase.

I appreciate the perspective but as I said in my original post, I've come to REALLY not be a fan. I had a 120 for years until a few years ago and every time I try one now I just can't. I like listening to them a lot, but not for me.

If it needs to be light, the new Tonemaster Twins sound awesome and take pedals really well? If you want a bit more gain the Marshall Origin 50 is a great choice, has an effects loop and a boost built in? Older JCM 800 combos aren’t insanely expensive either.

Yeah, apparently they were a Moog/Gibson thing. Nice pedigree.
