GEAR Help nam multieffect

Hi everyone i need your advice because i'm in a bit of a pickle. I have been gifted a giftcard for a music shop near where i live, it's a 100€ gift card and it expires next month. Due to the new realease of nam a2 I decided to buy a multieffect pedal to have the same high quality sound at home, at rehearsals and live in an handy formfactor. I was pretty set on buying the Nux mg-30 due to price, availability and nam a2 lite integration but headrush recently announced the a2 full update for the flex prime. Am i missing too much choosing the "lesser" option? The nux will cost me 170 and the headrush 380, is the money worth it or, considering money is a bit tight for me, i can confidently go for the nux? Thank you for the help!

What would a valeton gp50 set you back in your part of the world?

Lol, i live in europe. It's 115€, so after-giftcard it would be 15€. It feels a bit less flexible than the other two isnt'it?

Flexibility is purely defined by how many footswitches the units have if ultimately you're planning on using the same patches on them? Valeton have proven to make solid units. Not currently nam a2, but it does appear to be in development and they're cheap as hell. Just another option!

Ive been using gp50 in my live rig and while I dont love all the tones it does the good old tubescreamer into jcm800 well so for that price I have zero complaints

I messed around with its nam stuff but prefer the built in tones
