The other guitarist in my classic rock covers band The Test Pilots has the 50W head and matching 2 x 12" cab.
Sounds great, not too big and seems very reliable.
Really nice for the money, if you ask me (though new prices have shot way up recently ).
Cons:
Single channel with a boost, rather than 2 channels. I've heard some people say that they could dial it in clean and then crank up the boost drive control to get high gain, but I found the boost drive knob to sound a bit fizzy/harsh if it was set higher than the gain control. So yeah if you want pristine cleans combined with really high gain it's probably not the amp for you (VH100R would be the thing in that case).
In the same vein the extra boost adds a fair bit of volume so again it doesn't really react like two independent channels.
Gets a bit fizzy and noisy with the drive control (i..e the boost control) set too high. I generally keep both gain controls at about 12 o'clock and use boosts. that helps a bit with the noise thing (and also the tone).
Like a lot of the laneys, while it sounds really good it maybe sounds a little generic. More so with some speakers than others (V30s I thought didn't help in that respect- they really moderned the amp up and made it feel much more like a modern high gain amp, but yeah made it sound just like any high gain amp).
the resonance control would probably be nicer on a knob rather than a switch.
probably some other things i'm not thinking of. I should add I only play at home so you can probably take most of what i'm saying with a pinch of salt )
cant really say more than has been said...you need to buy one!

Spotify, Apple et al
I did find putting KT66 in my Jet City made a much bigger and fuller sounding amp.
