Question about tube amps

Yeah, I know there is more out there to. I will tell you though you get what you pay for. You can always go to your local store and get a small Fender, Line 6, Peavey or even Crate - now Crate just came out with a couple of tube amps that did sound too band for between $400-600. Recently I heard a lot of these cool boutique amps at Tonefest we had here in NC. The difference in sound for the old standbys mentioned above is huge!!!!!! I have Mesa Mark IV combo now that I love, but I am saving up for a Fuchs...
