Marshall has changed their US distributor, allowing them to lower prices on nearly every amp. Some by a very good amount.
However, this was a little bit ago, so they're sold out nearly everywhere.

One important note. The output is designed for a 16 OHM cab. Meaning either one 16 ohm 12" speaker… or a 2x12 loaded with two 8-ohms speakers in series.
It DOES have an 8 OHM speaker load capability (an unhooked white wire zip tied on the inside of it). There is an orange and white wire you have to "swap" inside. It's crazy easy to remove the orange wire and plug the white one in to make this output 8 ohms. But you have to be slightly handy to open this up and swap them.
Some people have said you can run 8 ohm can on this even though is made for 16. Personally, I swapped the wire to be safe.
I needed it because my cab is two 16's in parallel (so, 8 ohms).
And since it's the HEADPHONE out that powers my real 1x12 V30 cabinet then the Cube Baby at $35, then it is all a new guitar player needs to get started. Not that you couldn't play dry or into a BT speaker adapted; but the Cube Baby does all the tones/effects you may EVER need. And I say this AFTER A/B comparing with tubes. And EVEN with extremely touch sensitive dynamics; when cranked. So like real real tubes in the feel too.
And this means the Cube Baby (alone) is plenty for the home, whether into a guitar cab or headphones. And other speakers large enough. A modest tube amp combo would bump up the volume to playing against a loud drummer on stage, and make you independent from using other peoples gear. So you can setup, tweak and practice on the same gear you perform, *and* with the least weight to carry around.
All the money you can spend on practice gear, or to test gear you have not researched and not already tried could be instead saved and for the total gear, you not only prefer; but cost less, does more, and even weighs less too.
I have the exact same rig setup and agree with your assessment. I thought I was alone.
