Dilemna: Crate or Line 6?

I'm upgrading to a good modelling amp and I need something that I can play hard rock/metal on that type of thing. I've got a choice between two used amps:
Crate GT212 with Danelectro phaser and Danelectro PB&J thrown in, costing £140 (£228)
or
Line 6 Spider 212 with channel changer/selector thrown in, costing £120 (£195)
Not got enough knowledge on amps to make the decision so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I have a peavy vypyr 75. I think for metal styles its very good.
You have The xxx, the 6505 on there as well as many others.
On top of that there are 9 stomp box effects and 11 rack effects. To be fair when I was looking it was the one packed with the most features.
Check them out before making up your mind.

Cheers for the help mate, but I've found these two amps at good prices I know they're both suitable for me but can't quite figure which one wins it

Neither. Go for the Vox VT40+. Much better guitar amp IMHO with good quality effects and great basic tones. Around £169 and a properly loud combo.

I've got the Line 6 spider IV 30 and really like it, I've also got the channel changer and pocket pod to go with it
I play mainly metal.

HI there Just a little advice
If you were going to get the line 6 you mite b getting sothing that you will probs replace in a few month.
I was going to get a line 6 but then i compared it to a peavey as in sound, effects bla bla bla
And it has to be said the line six was crap compared to the peavey cos i actually tested them both in person.
Just thought it mite help. LOL
