Does the Vox AC15 give the same tone as the AC30, only quieter?

So the title pretty much explains my question, but just to expand.... I absolutely love the Vox AC30 tone (at least the AC30/6 or AC30TB's), but find that the volume produced by one is just too much for my requirements, and so I considered the AC15's.... What I want to know is 'do the AC15's produce the same distinctive tone as the 30's, only at a lower volume?' Then I guess the other question is 'do the new VOX's also have the same distinctive tone as the older 30's mentioned above?' There seems to be some confusion over the newer models, as some appear not to be considered as good as the originals, and others considered closer to the original? Any one able to clear up this confusion? Trying to decide between potentially saving up for an AC15, or the Craig 2w? I'm looking at this as a major investment that I want to keep for many years! I hope my question is clear enough? Thanks in advance... Regards G!

Great post G! I found myself doing a lot of nodding furiously in agreement while reading, which I usually take as a good sign. ? Thanked.

Vic wrote factors like "weight" and "volume" becomes almost irrelevant I promise..... ?.

Just what I've been saying about my Twin. We have to justify our monsters somehow. ? 1 x 12 combos still feel like practice amps to me...
