I get that they are completely different form factors and have different capabilities but faced with a choice to spend £500 on a THR or buy a used Princeton I'd go the Fender.
Maybe I am not the target market?

No doubt it sounds great, but l don't
care how much you butter it up.....
£535 for a practice amp for the bedroom is taking the piss...

The point is though that you can gig those amps, so the practice rig is also the gigging rig.
At around £500 you can get a much more versatile amp, rather than 'just' a home practice amp.
At £300 the THR would be a no-brainer.
At £500 it is definitely not a no-brainer and would really be difficult for me to justify- I'll likely wait for one to turn up used.
IMHO.

Basically, people that play valve amps live and even at home have a certain feel they expect. Not just the tone but the feel. Most modeling/ practice amps just don't give you the same feel. The can sound great but they don't feel as nice as what you're used to. These always have. Add all the other useful stuff in and you have a great piece of gear. Again, I have nice stuff at home. Sat behind me are 3 really nice valve amps. I have more coming in the next month. What will I play most? THR. I also have Spider, Amplifi and Helix set up. I will still play the THR. There's just something you can't put your finger on. It's addictive. 500 quid for the amp you will probably play everyday and more than any other amp is pretty good in my opinion. Yes I'm biased. ;-)

£500 is not a done deal.
It is just too expensive for what it gives me, especially given the used Princeton won't depreciate like a digital amp will.
My £500 Princeton will always be worth £500.
A £500 THR will be worth £300 in 12 months, which is probably when I will buy one.
IMHO and YMMV of course.
I'm not busting your balls here- I appreciate you being here and being candid, I'm just relaying how I would approach this particular problem.

Are the internals (components) similar to the previous models?
What improvements have been made to the modelling quality?
Is there an iPad app?
