$75 is a pretty great deal (if they work, well cared for, etc), I would get them regardless of whether your amp is good enough or not. You can always try listening and if it doesn't sound nice enough, keep them for when you upgrade.
Drivers can be changed pretty easily. As for the two amps you're looking at, I don't think either will drive the HD580s very well, but if it sounds good to you that's what matters (until you get a better amp, heh).
also, I wouldn't be looking at the HD580s as on-the-go headphones.

I'm getting one of there two to make a decent on the go audio setup when I'm using my laptop. |
