Princeton Recording Amp For (GASP!) Recording Studio Go-To Guitar Amp?

Hmmm. The Princeton recording is expen$ive, but so is a Pro Reverb. Has the Princeton Recording been proven in the field? While not a Blackface, the Pro is still worth as much, if not more. But what is the resale value of the Princeton Recording? Call me a Heretic, but one small 10" speaker with a low powered amplifier always leave me limp. It may sound great all by itself, but a 10" speaker just won't have the 'oomph' a 12" speaker will, and it'll get buried in a band situation quickly. And two 12" speakers is going to sound even bigger. I wouldn't dream of using it as an only in-house amplifier. As a supplementary amplifier, sure. But not a one-and-only. Keep the Pro. But that's just my 2¢, and YMMV, as we in the business say.
 
It's a suck deal.A new Princeton Recording is most assuredly NOT worth what a '77 Pro Reverb is.If someone wants to trade a real '62-'79 Fender Princeton Reverb/Fender Princeton NR,it becomes an entirely different matter.The Princeton amp is a great 12-15 watt amp that excels in a recording environment.I have a 1965 NR Princeton.It is one of the cornerstones of my guitar sound.Proviso:It has to be a well maintained tube amp with a working set of tube(that proces,becomes an art form,in and of itself).
 
Well, thanks for the advise. I have decided to certainly not go with this trade.

No further post necessary, thanks again.
