You can still find plenty of new and used DA5's on eBay, with prices ranging from $110 shipped to $140 shipped for the new pieces.
I checked the specs for the Mini 3, and it looks pretty nice. But I can't find a price for it anywhere.
I have nothing against the Epiphone Valve Junior. It's a nice amp and represents good value for money. But I think the DA5 is a better buy, considering that it is harp-friendly right out of the box, requires less maintenance than a tube amp, and comes with a bunch of FX--including delay and reverb--that otherwise have to be bought separately.
Silicon chips are still less expensive than vacuum tubes...
