PA Options - Bose L1 vs RCF JMix EVOX8 vs Hughes and Kettner Era 2

Monkeybone

Now that my band is no more, I'm considering starting up a solo acoustic project. I don't fancy lugging about a huge PA system, so was considering one of the following options,
Bose L1 Model 1S, RCF JMix EVOX8, or as a slightly different choice, Hughes and Kettner Era 2. Does anybody have any experience with these?

I have tried the Bose L1 Compact in the past, and found that quite good, but I'm thinking about the potential need for more inputs (which puts the Era 2 in to doubt).

I have a couple of friends who use the L1 system and are very happy with it, two guitars.

I use either a single or a pair of JBL Eon Ones for acoustic gigs because they sounded better than the Bose, but I do use a small external mixer for bigger gigs. 

For acoustic guitar and voice though, the frequencies chosen in the rather limited onboard mixer are really pretty good.

I’ve been through everything and my favourite by far is the Line 6 Stagesource. It’s a PA in one box and sounds fantastic, built well too.

If your contemplating the Era 2 then have a look at AER offerings, for my tuppence worth I would also have a look at HK Lucas Nano systems which would be my preferred option
