5 watts seems like too little power for getting truly clean Rhodes sounds.
I'm sure the gritty dirty stuff that came out would be great as an effect, but I would look elsewhere for a main amp for your Rhodes.
Remember the low output from the passive pickups on the Stage models.

I was checking cheaper/smaller ranges of fender guitar amps the other day and found that the super champ had a nice sound with a guitar. Then I asked the guy to try it with a bass guitar to see if it could handle the lower range of my rhodes piano and the sound just went flat and horrible! My advice is to get a cheap bass amp instead if it's just for practice at a relatively low volume at home.

After looking around a bit I spent £50 on a used good condition Fender Champion 110 for home, was surprised at  decent  clean tone . 25W. Reverb not great, but volume fine for playing with anything acoustic, rarely crank it above 2.
