I've heard a lot of people say that the Behringer V-amp 2 sucks for recording. Not so.
I did a blues track recently and got superb tone out of the V-amp 2. I recorded it dry into my interface - just an amp and cab model on a preset (that is the KEY). The presets on the V-amp are highly usable and underrated IMHO. I like it for rock and blues on a Strat. Some of the presets give you tons of sustain at even low volumes.
I'm not sure how it performs with heavier styles like metal, screamo, punk, post-punk etc.
Anyway, Vox has some nice modellers as well on their peddle boards - maybe worth looking into. I would say instead of buying an expensive all-in-one solution, buy a cheaper solution that does exactly what you need it to. It's suprising how much variety and detail of sound you can get by just picking a decent base sound and playing around with the volume control on your guitar, and adjusting your attack.
Food for thought.
