best thing to do is hear for yourself, but...

a lot of guys here are geared towards tube amps, they do sound different (i think so too as most of guys here), however it would depend on how much money you want to spend, i would say go to a local store and play an MG100 head and see if you like it, then play a tube amp and see what changes in the sound for you to decide.

My closest contact with an MG head is a friend that has it, got it brand new, he loves it, but he still wants a tube head as soon as he finds a good deal

I have an AVT50 Watt (you could say it´s a relative of the MG) using it with a 2x12, the same speakers played with a DSL sounded completely different, but i liked the tube sound better, they both sounded good i´m not saying the speakers made the difference, the amp made the difference.

If you made your mind about the MG head, and you are just thinking on which cab to get the MG and 1960 cabs do sound different, i would say the 1960 is a hell lot better than the MG cab
