I like to have the option of a good hard rock "crunch" (think Zeppelin, The Who, ect) but I also want the flexibility to be able to play smooth and clean. An added included pedal channel-shifter would be a nice plus
Then the Marshall DSL40C that I posted above is where it's at.

A watt is a watt. The main differences between a tube and solid state amp are in what happens when they go into clipping.
When a tube amp "breaks up" it's pleasant to the ears. When a SS amp clips, it sounds like absolute shite.
Yes absolutely. Someone told me one time not to think of a guitar amp as a "tone preserver" like a stereo amp. In reality it's a tone generator along with the pickups, the pedals and everything else in the signal chain.

This is a good recommendation. I have an older JCM2000 DSL401 and it's got a great tone and plenty of power. The DSL40C is just a newer version of that one.

I literally don't know a single guitar player in a band that plays a solid state amp

ok? I don't know him.
and he's old and lazy at this point who doesn't want to deal with maintenance of a tube amp.

yeah. it has nothing to do with the tone he's able to get.
laziness and having to deal with maintenance is a non factor when you're b.b. king.
ty tabor of king's x used that same amp. was he too old and lazy?
before his death, dime bag Darrel used solid state randalls.
If you are good enough, you will sound good through either one.

are you really defending solid state amps? I mean they work fine as a practice amp but I can't take any guitarist seriously if they are playing anything other than a tube amp.

I, too, am a tube amp elitist, but this is fricking asinine. I like to bust people's balls when I hear them talking about playing a solid state amp, but in reality, I know that the player makes the gear, and not the other way around. I can't take anyone seriously that would run down B.B. fricking King.
Give Marc Ford a B.C. Rich and a Danelectro mini-amp and give me a '65 ES-335 and a plexi and Marc is still gonna run me off the stage every fricking time. It is what it is.

talent is talent. but tube amps are just better than solid state amps and there's no intelligent person that would debate otherwise

The amp is just a tool. They each have their applications.

That's pretty unusual putting a reverb/delay at the beginning of the signal chain.
