There are many better options, but as with all bass things - lightweight either means cheap crap or proper money.
Can you give an indication as to your budget?
Also - is there anything in particular you like and don't like about how it sounds?
Bass amps have their own sound just like Marshall / Fender / Vox do for guitars.

I don't want a big box that takes up a lot of space in our music room. The 802 is fine in that regard. Likewise weight is an issue. Again the 802 gets a big thumbs up in that it is not heavy.
Probably best to decline the offer and keep what works for me. Unless there are better options available out there. Thanks @fretmeister

I've done it several times and mostly regretted it at some point, when I found it harder to get something else that did the job as well. Something that just works for you is better than going down the rabbit hole of other options if you don't need to.

Even if you stayed within Mark Bass range (I am a fan as well) you'd need to spend about £650 for a combo that was a proper upgrade, and more if it was a head and cab.
Why were you thinking of selling? I get "shiny thing" syndrome, but I have gear I really like and would not let it go.
I'd add to it!

Trading the second hand price of one piece of gear for the new price of another is almost always going to result in a downgrade, unless there's been a radical improvement in technology in the mean time. (There hasn't.)

So, for the time being at any rate, my decision is to keep the Markbass I have. Again thanks to everyone.
