Be careful. The Fryette is rated for 200W maximum, and a cranked Super Bass or original Super Lead will usually put out more than that.
I would just keep the 2204. It's much more flexible than cranking up a non-MV amp and using an attenuator as the sole volume control, and if you balance the MV and the attenuation rather than trying to do it all with the attenuator it will probably sound better, as I think you've already found.

I always preferred a cranked JTM45. 30 watts of unmolested beauty.

I've had three 70s originals and they remain my favourite ever amp, but the reissue is indistinguishable as a circuit IMO.
I would seriously consider one.
Wish I had nabbed one when the collective idea of playing a 'Bass' model seemed cheapskate and 'hand-me-down'
it also has a ppimv master volume but the amp does not respond the same, specially when rolling down the guitar volume to clean up the sound,
so I mainly use an old power brake and it works great for me,
more versatile than you would imagine - use low gain input for acceptable cleans , pedal platform n a little boost / eq => plexi territory. Hi gain for crunch and beyond - add TS for metal ..
Awesome amps ...
