I'll spare you a recap of the specs and say that I'm a pro who gigs a lot (solo, small group, full band). play pop/rock and country, usually singing and playing acoustic guitar. I play electric too, so I have to bring two rigs.
I've used a lot of acoustic amps, and I believe the SA220 is the best investment in my sound I've made besides my J200. My guitar sounds like itself at full volume with no piezo spank or electric-ness, and I get a lot of compliments. Vox sound great too, and it's plenty loud with great spread. I use it as a monitor when I'm plugged into a big PA, and as a vox PA for lower volume band practice.
It's also pretty small and light, which is nice. I spent quite a while deciding between the SA220 and the Bose L1, and was lucky to gig with both of them before I chose. The Bose was actually pretty cool, but in the end, the Fishman sounded cleaner and won me over. You can get loud with any old PA, but if you want to sound right, I highly recommend the SA220.
