I'd be tempted to go ampless with something like a Valeton GP200 and some headphones, or a small FRFR powered cab.
I actually have used (and still do) a Vox amPlug headphone amp and it sounds amazing! But I can't stand using it with headphones. I feel like I'm chained to my guitar. So I connect it to my HiFi system instead. And it works and sounds wonderful, I don't need/want anything else. This is actually why I may want a desktop amp, it skips one step, which is having to connect to my HiFi system and provides additional versatility. But the headphone amp has its place too, I agree.
