Amp choice - Allen, Collins or ?

[FST]

I'm thinking adding a combo amp, something in the 18-22w range, class AB or maybe A, with 1-10" and 1-12" in a tweed- or brown/blackface-style cab. Something to use in the occasional bar band for 40-somethings who play music for fun and have good day jobs. I like both tweed and blackface tone, play mostly strats but occasionally an SG, and am looking for the best of both worlds. I keep landing on the webpages for Allen Amps and Collins Amplification. I know that Allen has a great reputation on the web, but haven't seen much discussion about Collins [who's built amps are priced similarly to Allen's kits].
Any suggestions or alternatives?
Cheers, ST

I have 1st hand experience with collins and the kensington is a killer amp. Built like a brick S@#T house.

Thanks Bill

Bill - Thanks for the opinion on Collins Amps.
Since I've gotten so many responses here, any suggestions where I should post my question for a more opinionated audience?
Thanks, ST
