The Champ is the next one that I plan on buying, and if you look around, you might even find a used one on GC for 200 if any come up on the site for used.

I can confirm their Mustang’s are great for around the house. I first bought a Marshall, but then exchanged it for the 100 watt Mustang a week ago. Best amp decision I’ve made.

Is the Mustang amp suitable for Acoustic guitar? I thought it was just for electric?

Yes, the Mustangs have over 100 presets, many of them clean which will be well suited to an acoustic/electric....don’t take my word for it. They should let you test at your local music store. Works well with my Fender acoustic Hellcat.
