Has anybody paired a Lynchback with a V30?

I'm currently running my JVM with two tubes pulled as my cab has a V30/H30 combo which only takes 60w power handling.

I thought about just getting a second V30 but curious about the Lynchback. I know it's 3dB quieter in terms of sensitivity but has anybody matched them up in a cab before? If so how did you get on?
 
The Lynchback is my favorite speaker by a longshot. However, I didn't care for the V30/LB mix I tried. They cover real similar territory in the mids (though the LB is smoother in that area). What I got was a really middy sound dominated by the V30 sizzle due to the db difference. My opinion is that you would be better off doing a pair of either.

Or get a high powered G12H variant to go with the V30......Celestion just came out with a 75watt H magnet "Creamback". Or maybe the WGS Reaper HP. Or a 65 watt Weber Legacy with 50oz mag.
 
I've been curious to this as I have a pair of Lynchbacks and I'm looking for the perfect mate, aside from another pair of Lynchbacks :p

I tried them with a pair of Eminence Wizards (kind of a high powered G12M and H30 mix) and I thought it sounded pretty good; didn't think the speakers were really 'fighting' each other for frequencies. Next pair I'd like to try it with is the Celestion G12-65's.

Lynchbacks in a Bogner OS 'style' cabinet have been slightly less than ideal for me - V30s sound fuller to me, but in a 4x12 setting I think the Lynchbacks are killer.
