    Line6 spider III 15 vs Sound Drive SG-15

    Hi, Following link provided by mcuosver to citymusic, saw that line6 spider III 15 price is now $155 - almost same as SoundDrive SG-15. How does the spider III compare with the SG-15? The spider III specs says "modelling amp". Does this give it an advantage over the SG-15?
