Best Light Weight Budget Amp Head

OK guys, I need some help. Here's what I want in an amp head:

Light weight
Dual channel for clean and drive
Ability to perform at moderate to low volume (Home, Practice, Small Gigs)

The history is that I had been using a SF Princeton that had recurring problems. Then I moved on to a Fender Jazzmaster Ultralight which I love, but that also is now having problems. I've become spoiled with the Jazzmaster Ultralight because it sounds great, it's light, and I've even come to really enjoy the on-board reverb+delay effect which I use on both channels.

Unfortunately, I've been dogged by reliability issues and I'm getting fed up.

I don't want anything heavy, and I don't want a loud amp that only sounds good at high volume.

I'm considering a range of things including:
Vox Night Train (Single channel concerns me)
Blackstar HT-5 (Wasn't super impressed with the sound through their cab)
Mesa Transatlantic (Don't need all the features)

What I'd really love would be a head version of the new Fender Supersonic 22 . . .

Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
