Headrush FRFR GO vs Roland Cube Street Mini

I need something light and compact that I play guitar with while traveling, together with my Quad Cortex (QC) amp modeler.

My first idea was the Headrush FRFR GO. This is a Full Range, Flat Response speaker with no built in amp sims or effects, specifically designed to be used together with something like my QC. It has two 3” speakers and a rear bass port.

I then found the Roland Cube Street Mini. This thing is battery powered and has some built in amp sims, which seems quite nice for when I’m playing outside and can’t plug in my QC. It also appears to have a ”Flat” mode, so it seems like I could still use my QC with it. Plus, unlike the Headrush, it has stereo instrument inputs and weighs a little less. It is slightly more expensive. It has a 5” woofer and two 0.5” tweeters.

Does anyone have any experience with the build and sound quality of these things? How do they compare? Does plugging a QC into one of the micro cubes in flat mode sound any good? Are the built in amps sims usable?

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
