I've heard good things about the Epi as well, and keep meaning to grab one
if
only to have a little recording amp around should I need one. It seems the
little "boutique 5 watt" thing is starting to catch on too. Fender just
made a
product announcement for this:
http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2330100000
The Champion 600 is a "5-watt tube amp with a 6” speaker and... a
higher-gain preamp circuit".
There's also a demo movie from NAMM at:

Looks like it might be a little crunchier than the Epiphone, if that's your
thing. Little more pricy, though, 'cause Sweetwater's got pre-orders for
$199.
