I also make it a point that my band can control our overall volume and mix on stage without getting into a Volume War, makes the sound guys job easier as well, then we have a better mix.
My other guitarist ditched the 4x12 and now plays through a 2x12.
4X12s aren't louder than 2X12s, you get a little more spread though, sure. But while I agree you generally don't get to crank your amps in venues, that has way more to do with speaker efficiency and amp wattage than it does cab size. If you're saying you get to "push" your amp with a 2X12 vs a 4X12 based on cab size alone I disagree 100%.
