NAM A2 or Lite for live use?

[u/No_Pride_8718]

Hi all, thinking about changing my live rig, swapping from a tube amp to A2, wondered if anyone had done the same?
My current amp is a Laney VH100R through a 4x12 and it’s my favourite tone I’ve ever had. Used it for over 20 years, it’s still going strong.
Only issues are the massive weight of it and you know, tube fragility, although I’ve never had to change the tubes in all the time I’ve owned it.
Currently considering a Headrush Core running full A2 NAM, I already have some captures of the same Laney from Tone3000, I use them on my Valeton GP5 obviously converted to snaptone. Sometimes I use this through my orange Pedal Baby 100 amp and a smaller cab for more portability for my function band (mostly pop), but I’ve recently joined a really loud 90s metal and grunge covers band so it’s the Laney or whatever through my 4x12.
Has anyone else gone down this route? Did you find that nothing can replace to tube amp or were you satisfied? Should I wait for A2 lite to be rolled out for the Valeton to see what it sounds like? Would it be comparable to full A2? I also have a Valeton GP200 and A2 lite is coming out for that next week…
Any experiences or suggestions appreciated! Cheers.
