For those who prefer tubes, the extra cost of classic circuit-based tube-only head/combos is typically more expensive than adding separate gain stages. Some non-tube amps have better tone/patch choices than tube-only amps without pedals. Being a tube/valve purist can be expensive, and paying for brand names is not important. Tubes are preferred for picking soft to harder dynamics, which some non-tube amps (so far) can still do, just well enough; but not as much(to date that I've seen).
Additionally, adding gain stages with multi-units are far cheaper than a bunch or separate units. Overall, the focus should be on quality and value in the music industry. Your buying practices determine the market prices.
So many parts and ways to skin a cat, are of course subjective; but guitar amps, effects and total cab IR needs are generally common here. Yes, even among so many flavors, human interface types, and differences; that do include the subjectively uncommon.
