I had one also-the one with 2 -10" speakers. Loved that amp and yup, the reverb was supurb!My MusicMan Sixty-Five had the best spring reverb I ever heard.
No virtual FX LOOP in the amp block, which is where it would basically sit.It needs to go in front of the power amp, you can't do that with AFX3 so it doesn't sound realistic
London Plate is the best allround non-spring reverb in the unit IMHO.
Having said that, I like spring reverb.

I seem to remember reading on Reverb Block notes on Wiki that placing the Spring Reverb before the amp gave the best results. I'm not sure. I like gooey better than drippy.
My personal experience is with spring reverb in combo amps which puts the reverb before the power stage, and of course, the speaker.
When I think of spring reverb, I think surf. One of the kings of surf, Dick Dale, ran original Fender reverb units BEFORE the amp. It had more controls to shape the sound. This guy demos both:
I also had the 210 - Unfortunately, this was the nineties, and I was looking for a hardrock sound. Although I could get close with drive pedals, I never got the OOOMPF I needed from the speakers. So I sold it for cheap, and I miss it.I had one also-the one with 2 -10" speakers. Loved that amp and yup, the reverb was supurb!
I guess it's a matter of taste... or of what you listened to when you grew up, I don't know. I just have that "infatuation". I love the spring reverb sound.I had our Fender Reverb unit delivered here yesterday. I will do some tests.
Be warned that the spring reverb used to be much more subtle but someone came in here and complained vociferously that it wasn't "drippy enough" and didn't match his spring reverb pedal. So I increased the "drippiness". It's one of those you can't please everyone situations.
FWIW, the plate, hall, etc. reverbs are far better than any spring reverb could ever be. I don't understand peoples infatuation with spring reverb when it's a crude method of trying to reproduce a real reverb.
The part starting at 4:54! Definitely! That's exactly what I'm looking for! Beautiful (to my ears, at least)! Listen to the reverb decay at around 5:10, that's THE sound. (Also much better than what I get from the built-in Spring Reverb in my - real-life - Twin Reverb)Maybe OP can comment on, which of these reverb sounds he likes.
