I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it, studio or stage ?
Personally, I would never buy this kind of amp. Because what I am looking for is an amp the most respectful of the initial sound, as possible, a very clean sound without any distortion.
It seems many people buy this amp mostly for its external appearance. I absolutely don't worry about that. I am only interesting in its sound qualities.
Its only my humble opinion.

Depends what you mean by "small" church exhibitions?
I agree with Liviou2004 - although this product looks like a stage guitar amp, it is actually a home hi-fi amp, so it is not really suited to reproducing Kronos audio in a large space.
The big problem with most home hi-fi amps is that the signal levels are -10dBm, whereas the outputs of professional equipment like Kronos are much stronger at +4dBu, so it is very likely you would overload this amp and get distortion unless you keep the Kronos volume right at the minimum.
You would be better using an active PA speaker with Kronos in any live situation. Depending where you are in the world, I would expect a 10-12 inch active PA speaker to be significantly cheaper than this Marshall product.
