I read in an interview with the Late Great Dimebag Darrel that he considered getting a winning combination of a well known guitar and a well known amp, the "easy way out"
With a Les Paul and a Marshall for example or with a Tele and a Twin reverb, you KNOW it'll sound good. According to Dimebag it was more challanging to make unusual combinations work, to craft your own sound from working outside the bag. Dimebag himself played Dean guitars through Randall Solid state amps and made the combination work.
In my own case I'll happily go the easy way out. I know my combination of Gibson Les Paul, London city Bulldog (Itself a copy of the Marshall JCM 900) halfstack and my Boss GT5 processor sounds good and I don't see anything wrong with sticking with it.

Plus, its easier to carry than the 50lb rack.
