Oh you'd be surprised! Haha... One stomp box is light and portable. Six or more aren't that light and will most probably match or surpass the heaviest floor multi-effects units around!
Its all in the fingers, that I agree!
Multi-effects or Individual stompboxes?

Sometimes its a matter of what they're being used for. When it comes to distortion (the hard stuff) I use only only Uber Metal since its all I need, and its distortion is way better than the floor Pod's.
However, for overdrive stuff where I'd use a lot of effects, the Floor Pod comes in handy.
Tada! Found good use for both of them! :mrgreen:

But it doesn't emulate amp heads and cabs which also contributes to your tone! Haha... Unless you're already using a 8 by 12" -_- :twisted:

why would you need 6? when you can survive with 3?
Not always! Some lead players need more than one of each. :mrgreen: Some actually like to stack an overdrive and a high-gain and whack.

+1. I might use only the effects on my Floor Pod and stop using the amp modes when I get my Marshall. 
Amp distortion always reigns supreme.

Well, if your needs are small, i guess there's nothing wrong with that. =)
If just for practice and fun at home, Line 6 Spider 3 15watts amp is very good. Their amp modelling and effects are quite cool. The price will also not make a very big hole in your pocket. Around 200 dollars from Citymusic. If you want to have a slightly better amp with more power you can always go for 30, 75, 120, 150 W 
Check this link out for demo.
Line 6 - Spider III Family
Download the manuals and check the possibilities of this amp from
Line 6 :: Support
Hope it helps.

How about this for black metal:
Ibanez gsa60 hardtail > Line 6 Tonecore Uber Metal > Sound Drive SG-10
Only one pedal. Power! But I think this rig can also be used for pretty much any form of hard stuff.

i think... if ur just practicing... any amp would do... but... live... u have to have those 4x12s.. or at least a 2x12 combos to get that massive sound... recording wise... just plug in direct and run an amp simulator... =)
