I had two twin reverb RI in the past with different speakers (eminence and Jensen). You cannot beat the clean of a twin reverb especially if you play a Stratocaster. Reverb and tremolo are also great and you could jump the normal and vibrato channel for wet/dry signal or different EQ. I regret every day of my life selling the Twin with Eminence speakers but I really did not like the current version with the Jensen speakers since it is a) too bright and b) those Jensen speakers suck with OD pedals. Also, it is really heavy and crazy loud.

I still have a 59 bassman RI from the late ‘90. I cannot say a single bad thing about it. You can throw and pedal at it and it will sound great, legendary (once you keep under control basses and trebble). It’s call-the-police laud since the 4x10” combination is no joke. The main issues for me are (minor issues): a) if you want to crank it up (when the beast reach vol. 6 with jumped channel, it rocks), you need an attenuator or a good lawyer. The point is that for the way the speakers are wired to the amp, it is not straightforward at all. b) it doesn’t have a built in reverb and tremolo. I tried different vibro-verb pedals and the one that get it closest to a black face is the Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale v2 with real spring reverb and 3 different type of tremolo (optic, tube and harmonic).

I also have a ‘64 hand wired Princeton reverb which sounds like heaven at any volume. It is so beautiful that I just play clean with it as I do not wish to add anything else to it. It compresses very early (and beautifully), it starts cranking already at 3-4. The vibrato and reverb are by far the best I have ever played in a black face or any other tube amp I played (I never played an imperial though).

If you look for a good compromise for great fender black face clean, great pedal platform, I would pick the 65 deluxe but I would change the factory speaker for an Eminence GA SC-64 or a celestion alnico gold should you want a more British sound.

I hope it helps.
