Right now me and the other guitarist are now using engl's (mostly) and have no issues with guitars cutting.

i've played loads of amps that apparently don't cut through the mix in a band situation and theres nothing wrong with them. You need to get the mids in the right place, same with most amps, and ENGLs don't have THAT much in the mid range anyway in comparison to other amps.

on topic for TS ENGL make some great amps, the SE is still one of my favourite amps out there. Which model are you looking at in particular?? If you liked the one you played and it does all you need it to then i say go for it

I'm mainly playing instrumental rock (satch, vai) and 80s thrash-death-power-prof-heavy metal (death, megadeth, dream theater, iron maiden, death angel, iron maiden, stratovarius, Holy Grail, living colour, children of boddom, impelliteri...etc)

I'm really searching a powerfull sound, and ENGL are just the "powerfullest/mightyest amps I ever tried

If you can save up and get a head + cab, it gives you far more versatility and despite what you think will actually save your back in the future (tube combos weigh a LOAD). My 2 cents would be save up and get a Powerball and a decent 2x12 cab to go with it

I j/k. Some people can't dial in a 2203 to cut through a mix either. It's called user error.
