Yeah buy a used handwired Marshall from '69-'74. Or a JCM 800 (preferably a '81-'83 with vertical inputs) or a 900.
The 2000s are overpriced when you can buy a handwired with an aluminum panel that sounds much better for less. They are pretty fizzy sounding amps and the power section is not warm like older Marshalls.
I'd suggest looking for a DSL over a TSL to save a few bucks. The DSLs always seem to sound better, but all the decent tones from the amp come from the clean channel anyway so the TSL is not worth an extra $250 new or $50 used.
What kind of tone do you want? If it does not have to be a Marshall tone, try a JSX. You can also get an ENGL Powerball mint for less money than a new DSL or TSL and it will kill it.
