The only "downside" for me is that they can be a little on the noisy side but possibly some of that is baked into the vox circuit in general with the oodles of presence and high end in the tones?
I've been really happy with it, and I now gig with it. I got mine really cheap, about £200. There was some issue with the trem as I remember, so cost another £70 to fix that and have it serviced.
I upgraded the reverb pan which is cheap /easy to do and it made the reverb more usable across its range.
I also changed the speaker. Mine came with a vox/Wharfedale speaker but I think some of them had celestions so it's worth checking. Didn't hate the stock speaker at all but again it's easy to upgrade and it did make a noticeable difference.
I've done a fair few gigs with it now and I really like it. Sounds good at gig volume and at home. Pedals I've tried so far have been fine, I set it fairly clean but not totally and then use pedals for dirt. Sounds great with telecaster into a compressor into the amp, then add overdrive if I need more.
Mine is only hissy for the first couple of minutes. It’s a lovely recording amp, with a great spring reverb going into the tremolo.

The AC10 is also smaller, lighter and cheaper - but doesn't have tremolo.

Aside from the tremolo, another key detail (for me) is that the AC10's reverb is digital while the AC15 has spring reverb. Meaning you could change the tank for peanuts if you didn't like it.
