Hybrid rig here - Primary tones come from the Mesa, FX come from the Helix, with the odd "jumbo stereo effect", as well as acoustic tones via Helix amp modeling/IRs into the PA:
I rocked a .50 Caliber+ for over 20 years before upgrading to a MK V 90. Hard to beat a Studio or a Caliber. No experience with a Nomad but I'm sure they are great. For me, I'd always look for a model with the graphic EQ. It's a big part of the Mesa tone.
One of my favorite bands! Ty's tone has been killer through every evolution of his rig . I saw them a couple years ago and he was playing through newer solid state Orange amps.
