Don't know if you've worked this out yet but the Mark V 35 is a very good amp. I re-sold my head after maybe a year, still miss it some days.
I think Wolfie summed it up real well, it's very characteristic of the general Mesa sound, but it's its own amp. Folks looking for say a dual rec or another amp substitute aren't going to quite get there. Sort of like wanting a Fender Twin but getting put off by the volume or size and buying say a Princeton Reverb. Princeton a great Fender amp with the Fender sound, yet different than a Twin.
That said, the 35 is total Mesa and still an excellent amp in its own right, I ran mine into horizontal 2x12 recto cab with the stock V30s. Selling it might suggest otherwise but it would be on my short list if I could only own one amp head and had no Fractal gear.
The cleans I liked better than any other Mesa I'd considered, and at the time I bought it I was specifically looking for a good clean sound that a) worked through my Mesa cab and b) let me try a new take on some surfy/spaghetti western stuff but with a different vibe than the tried and true Fender sound. The purist Fender way is a lot of fun but sometimes it just didn't gel with the rest of what I was doing, plus it's been done to death...
The V35 cleans are also pretty flexible and you can tweak them a fair bit between the Fat and controls, and they're a hair beefy and less glassy in a very good way. Again remember I was through a Mesa cab too and I'm trying to factor that in.
But I let it go, once I got the Fractal it displaced a number of things and I had a chance to get nearly everything back on Mesa. I would say there's a non-zero chance I pick another up at some point, need to see about our new house 1st. Would highly recommend trying one out it's really a nice amp and I didn't talk about the heavier sounds.
