Played the Blues Junior III, it's a fine upgrade. Wrote a review here two or three days ago.

I played an HRDlx III... it's a much much better sounding amp then the previous RI version. The drive channel is now actually useable depending on how you dial it in, I actually think it would be a very good solo boost option for someone using OD pedals... just a touch more gain and kick up the volume to taste.
I am going back to being a Fender fanboy as soon as they start shipping the blonde and/or tweed models in two months. I like my AC15C1, but I miss the warmth of the Fender 6L6/6V6 amps.

Got the HRDlx here aswell. Damn fine. Breaks up pretty early though, but thats what I wanted. Dirty Black Keys sound.
To me it looks like it will be a great recording amplifier. Better then a Jr (alittle more power).
Haven't played with the Drive Channel that much.
The Pro Jr. III looks interesting, for a street price of under $400?
