I decided I need a Diezel 2x12 cab for my Einstein and VHX. I’m leaning towards the 2x12 front loaded with V30s. But what about the other options? What would I be losing out on by going with a front loaded cab. And what about the G12K100? Am I correct in my assumption that front loaded is better suited for heavier styles? I’ll be using this cab only at home and for recording. Any info is much appreciated.
Diezel 2x12 cab choice?

I have both a Diezel 2x12FL that came with the K100’s and Diezel 2x12RL that came with V30’s. In both cabs, I now have a Celestion V30 and a Celestion Creamback 65. For me, that mix of speakers covers all the frequencies I play (Note...I dislike the Creamback 75).
The front loaded cab is good for more of a Mesa heavier sound like you mentioned, so it depends on what type of music you play. Overall, the rear load cab works for me. And unless you are playing Korn or Slipknot all the time, stay away from the K100’s.
I have a VH4, Herbert, and a D-Moll. All sound good with either cab.
That’s my two cents anyway....

I had the FL 2x12 wv30's for a bit. It was a great cab and was very punchy and huge sounding. I would only buy that cab if you are playing a lot of or primarily metal like mentioned above. I play metal and prefer FL cabs but depending on your style, the RL cab may be a better choice. I would try the RL v30 cab if I were you. That's my opinion of course.

How do you like the RV 212? I ordered the same after Diezel gave me this explanation.
212RL Semi Open G1265H - Best tone all around, less “hi-fi” but wonderful mids, clarity and punch. Sounds awesome on low volume but it’s a bit stiff so very hard to play as it shows every mistakes.
212RL V30 Closed - Another very good tone all around, it’s more directional but easier to play and with a typical mid-high spike that you either love or hate depending
412F K100 - is more hifi but even more stiffer and directional, I wouldn’t use it for home but again it depends on your style, best suited to very low tuning.
412R V30 - is another classic, similar to 212RL but more 3D and a bit more open sounding.
Please note that all Diezel sounds extremely good even in front of the speaker because of the unique power amp section (by dialing presence and depth control). Yes by directional I mean that it would sound different in front relative to the side, but it doesn’t really mean bad.
