Vertical or Slant 2x12?

Anyone using a vertical or slant 2x12 that they really like? I have a pair of old G12-65s in a typical horizontal 2x12 but would prefer to have it aimed up higher.
 
I have one of these which I use when a 4x12 is too big:

It gives you the advantage of a slant while having both speakers still perpendicular to each other.

I think I paid $500/shipped, baltic birch ply, my choice of tolex, grill cloth, and Vintage 30s. One caveat: it didn't come with corners, and I think the edges/corners are radiused to .5", so it wasn't easy to find corners that fit. I think I ended up with Marshall corners.

How's the punch/thump throw on this? I've had some verticals and they punched a but les; physics, I guess. But still curious.
 
It punches, but less. It's a full 22" wide, so it's close to two-thirds the size of the 412s I have. I think that helps. Closed back of course, and it's plenty heavy for a 212.

That's exactly the cab I was thinking of when I posted this. Thanks!

You're welcome. The $500 deal was on reverb 18-24 months ago, in the Mojotone store. Not sure if they have anything similar at the moment.
