Combo suggestions

Hey guys. I'm getting a little frustrated with having to lug around my Laney head and not being able to use my own cab. I usually end up using some shitty cheap cab at rehearsals. I don't drive yet, I get driven by the bass player to and from rehearsals but soon within the next few months I'll be driving. But even then the car won't be too big and a 4 x 12 half stack is just going to be too big.

So I'm considering selling my Laney head (which is something that is going to be very difficult as I love it) and getting a 1 x 12 or 2 x 12 combo.

Which combo would you suggest that would get me a nice clean tone, a good mid gain tone and a full on metal tone? Versatility is a big reason why I got the VH100R so I'd like to be able to have that versatility with my next amp (that's if I do decide to do this).

An FX loop would be great with level control. I don't use rack gear but I just use a Boss DD-3 so I don't need alot of FX loop options.

So you guys get an idea of what tone I want, I play in a band that has influences from Nevermore, Carcass, Megadeth and FF but in my own time I like to play Blues, Jazz (badly ) and anything else I like to have a go at.

My budget is probably going to be £700 at a push. So far I've been looking at the Mesa Nomad, H + K Switchblade, Engl Screamer and the Line 6 SV. I'm open to any suggestions you guys have....

Maybe if you save a bit that ENGL Raider100 or a Sovereign1/2x12 maybe worth checking out?
