Thanks for the awesome replies! It seems that running through a separate power amp wouldn't really add anything (except an additional $1k), so I went ahead and ordered the PowerRack + Remote. Now I can finally ditch that terrible Line6 I've been using for recording and the Rivera I've been using live.
Really looking forward to this, too bad it's backordered for a couple weeks. Guess it gives me time to pour over the manuals

I'm pretty much decided on the Kemper (vs. AxeFX), which I'll be using for both live and home studio use. I have a couple questions before pulling the trigger.
I mainly play small to mid size clubs, with a standard local band-type setup -- amps/cabs on stage for personal monitoring, and going through a house PA. Obviously I'd like the cab modeling to be turned off for the signal going to the cab, but turned on for the direct out to the house PA. I've found conflicting info about whether this configuration is possible or not.
Also trying to decide between powered and unpowered. Is there any benefit to going with an external tube power amp (thinking of the ENGL E840/50), or does the built-in power amp provide enough (simulated?) warmth?
Thanks!
