Can't decide between Dual Terror or Rocker 15 Terror!!! Opinons??

I really need a new amp, I sold my rig a few months ago now and getting sick of using borrowed gear!! Downsized from 50/100 watt heads and 4x12s as I just don't need that type of power.
My guitar style is somewhere between punk and metal, fast eddie clarke/ross the boss/james williamson/early thrash style stuff.
I play in a few of bands, one punk/metal crossover band, a "raw power" era stooges tribute, and a mid 80's thrash style band.
So I'm looking for different flavours of dirt, a solo boost would be great too. Don;t need more than one sound per gig.
I play a les paul and have a wah a ts9 and an EQ in the signal chain. The TS9 for a clena boost for a bi more crunch, the wah and eq for solos.
I like as simple a setup as I can get,
I'm downsizing from a JCM800 and 4x12 so looking for a smaller/lower wattage head and 2x12.
I've owned 2 TT15HWs, a Retro 50 , a rockerverb 50 and a rocker 30 over the years. The TT15HW was my favourite.
Here's my requirements -
Compact, simple and practically sized amp that has enough volume for the average venue but not too powerful so I can get the best out of it. Most venues I play are mic'd up anyway.
Needs to be able to give a range of dirty sounds from 70's rock / punk though to 80's metal (with a tube screamer in front if needed)
Facility for a solo boost would be great.
Dual Terror -
Pros-
I had a TT15HW and loved it.
I toured the USA with a DT30.
Dual channels will give me a solo boost if needed.
15/30 watts will definitely be loud enough.
Will have more than enough gain.
Cons-
Don't know how good they are for more metal sounds.
Will I like it as much as my old TT15HW.
Rocker terror 15 -
Pros -
Tried the brent hinds terror and loved it.
Compact and more tweakable EQ.
FX loop for solo boost.
More than enough gain.
Cons -
Don't know how good they are for more metal sounds.
Is 15 watts loud enough.
Anyone gigged either ?? Anyone any input on this??!!!
