The pedal baby… I wouldn’t mind having an artist for a practice rig but my big ole Johnson fills that spot nicely…

Yeah check that out new or see if you can get it on a holiday or for a good deal somewhere otherwise used is good but if you can look for a good discount on new on a holiday especially if you can combine a sale with a coupon.
I havent tried but yeah some of these SS A/B power amps are on another level...... I mean I don't want to say exactly like tube but I will say they behave like real amps and I wouldn't be surprised if the Orange is as good or better than the Boss Katana Artist.
Definitely worth considering especially given vids and sound clips...... I know I know YouTube shit but you can really hear the quality in these even over the YouTube. Definitely consider and check out *_*

If you can wait for it to be available, the Wampler Pedalhead from NAMM looks promising.

I've been down the cheap SS power amp trail and in the end... the Power Station was what quenched my thirst 
, I wish I could say something cheaper was the answer, you can usually scoop one up for around $600-650, I do feel like the Friedman IR and the Wampler are going to drop prices overall in the power amp category
The Wampler Tapehead does seem like an excellent choice if you can hang on for a bit for the release

Then you have to try crown xls 402. More than enough power (200 Watts x 2 @ 8 Ohms) though limited to XLR Inputs and banana plugs to cabinets. Crown Power Base 1 has 100 Watts x 2 @ 8 Ohms - 1/4" inputs and banana plug power out as well. I've used both the XLS and Power Base 2 (365 Watts x 2 @ 8 Ohms) on full stacks and they kick azz. Just a thought.

The Matrix power amps are very good but they are not in the cheap category which was why I didn't mentioned them.
Maybe look for a Peavey CS800X that works well as they are getting older and may have some issues but you can uses 1/4" jacks all around. You can find them for 200-300 bucks.
As Floyd and HRjohnny pointed out old Crown power amps have a good reputation and they are relatively cheap if working properly. I've considered Crown in the past.
