Depends on budget, the Fishman amps are good for the price and have good DI's.

Depends on budget. At £900 odd you would expect it to be good, but a Fishman Loudbox is £300 cheaper. If the 60W of a Loudbox Mini is enough then it's less than a third of the price.
If you want DI out then presumably you have a decent PA to go into. In that situation I tend to just go into the PA and put the acoustic in the monitors. You could always buy an active speaker of your own so you know you have a good monitor. The Yamaha DXR10 has a good reputation.
I don't think I need huge output, so wonder if there's that much of a difference, as per the price.

The 5T has the simpler features of the old 6T, but is less powerful - although 50W is probably still plenty.

Slightly confusing that the reverb is called 'effect', but it is reverb!

Possibly a bit spendy, but there's good things said about http://www.mambo-amp.co.uk/ .
I tried a Fender Acoustic SFX recently too which sounded very nice... quite large though and not that far off AER money.
I'd never go back to stand-alone acoustic amps now that compact PAs are so good.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
It does depend on use. I don't think you could comfortably carry that JBL in one hand like you can some of the smaller acoustic amps. There is a place for the standalone acoustic amp - small venues where you don't need huge volume. I don't see the point in the bigger ones though. Anything you would want 100W for, you are better off with a compact PA.

Having gigged for years with some very good acoustic amps I can can't even begin to tell you how much better this thing sounds than any of them.
If it's 4kg more than a Blues Jr it's still probably a lot more than a Loudbox Mini - and it's more than double the price. There is a place for those small standalone amps for small venues. It depends on your use. I've used mine more in the past but I've used it about 3 times in the last year. For my purposes it's fine.
When I've played bigger places there is PA anyway.
Looks like the JBL is based on the Bose stuff, but at a less eye watering price?
