I can't tell you whether or not you should go to that setup. I did it because I was getting buried at 900 watts. (most people don't consider the Shuttle 9.0 to be really 900 watts though)
The cons are: It's heavy, expensive, and somewhat complicated.
The pros are: it's loud, and not just loud but clean and loud. I find that the best way to avoid volume wars is for everybody to have a clear, focused tone. Plus with LOTS of wattage available, I don't have to run the rig at 100% of it's capability, which I believe will prolong its lifespan.
I still bring out the small, integrated head for acoustic gigs and practices where the full rig would be overkill. I'll find a pic of the stage rig tonight, I know there's a good one on Facebook.
