Nobody asks you to buy after you try. If you don't like the tone, just walk off & say thanks. If you based on calling them for stocks & prices, you'll never find the amp that you like. you are now searching for whats available in the market within your budget & i believe some people does it.
Take a walk down guitar shops, try whats available. If budget prohibits you, save up. You'll be glad if you do.
Don mind me for being direct.

I bought mine for $152 but that was on SALE. Call CityMusic first to check if they have the amp. Vox DA5 I think is also a cool amp for starters to get familiar with the common guitar effects used in songs.

Will be going to City Music. Hopefully the Vox Da5 is in my price range. Or else its the pathfinder for me.
Haha i still don't get what the cabinet is, despite reading the article.

lets just say it is the speaker.
the usual amps u see are combo amps. that is the amp + the speaker.
amps are made up of preamps and poweramps. the speaker is not an amp by itself.
examples of combo amps: vox pathfinder, spider III - these have built in speakers, they dont need cabinets
examples of amps w/o speakers: epi valve jr head only, orange tiny terror - these need to have cabinets or speakers to have sound.

So the picture above, Why he using two amps? since pathfinder is a combo amp why would he need a cab. Or is he using both seperately?

Pathfinder will act as his Equalizer or 'head' like the Orang Tiny Terror. The sounds will come out from the speaker bellow it... Getting a cab I think will give you louder and better sound.

maybe he just prefers the cabinet to the amp's speaker? its up to preference. like amps, speakers play a role to in tone. different speakers have difference nature. even close back and open back has a difference. some people very much go into detail. i dont fall into that category.

Ok thanks! Dammit i saw a Vox Da5 but it was sold yesterday. So cab will be much more expensive than most combo amps?
