Marshall or PRS - decisions!

I'm looking to purchase a small tube amp in the future, and I have a couple of options I've been looking at. I've watched videos on the Marshall DSL20 and the PRS MT15, and I like what I've heard from both. The thing is, however, both seem to excel in different areas. I'm a prog rock/metal player and composer, and I'm ultimately looking for a versatile amp that can achieve modern high gain tones as well as good cleans and crunch tones.

I really like the wide range of tones the Marshall produces, but it seems better suited for those old school rock and metal styles. The PRS on the other hand has some very nice full clean tones and brutal high gain sounds, but others have commented that it doesn't do those in-between sounds very well. Can anyone who owns or has played either of those two amps chime in with any thoughts or recommendations? Or, if you have any other amp options to consider, I'd be good with that, too.

I should also say that I'm primarily a bedroom player/producer right now, but I'm hoping to play live someday again. I'm also hoping to stay in the $400 - $750 price range. Thanks in advance.
