Possibly looking for a 2X12 cab. What's the skinny?

I'm currently rocking a Harley Benton 2x12 Vintage 30 loaded cab. I got it from Thomann in Germany for approx £170 GB Pounds shipped (works out to $270 US Dollars). They call it the HB G212 Vintage Cab :

Thing sounds killer, is very nicely built. Plus it cost me no more than what 2 brand new V30's alone would have cost to buy. Works great for both live work and studio work.

Ola Englund also made a ton of videoclips and soundclips using the same cab, and it tracks very well on recordings.
 
Mesa 2x12 Recto cab with V30s is very nice. I have one and it rocks.
 
I have been through a lot of cabs. Recent;y got rid of a Mesa Rectifier cab - way too harsh no matter what speakers I had in it.
Right now I am down to three cabs, Bogner 212OS, Port City 212OS and Stone Age 212C. I like having all three! Stone Age is not here yet though....

The THD 212 is also an amazing little cabinet that sounds huge for its size.

I've got a CAA cab in a live in road case. Works great alone or stacks with a 4-12. I'll make you deal on it and I can even deliver it in Raleigh.

I'm also looking at this:

How are the Heritage speakers compared to v30s?

If this is the ported CAA 2x12, its what I was going to recommend. I have one loaded with a pair of Scumback M75s and it absolutely kills...easily hangs with my Marshall 4x12s. Small and lightweight too.
 
The Cameron OS 2x12" is pretty nice, and is a little smaller than the Bogner.
 
Been using a Mesa Recto 2x12 with my 5150 III for about a year now. It's not bad. Sounds pretty damn good actually. Don't like it as much as my EVH cabs of course but my back likes it a whole lot better. :D Still waiting on the my EVH 2x12 cab to ship. Will probbaly use it the most. If I ever get it. :doh:
 
I have a Bogner 212OS that sounds magnificent and has V30s!
I have a Stone Age 212C on the way and it will have Scumback M/J because I find the H75 way too bright. O, it will have Celestion Creambacks! Jim said the Stone Age is a better match for his speakers than the Port City.
My Port City is staying with Eminence or WGS Vet30 or Retro 30 and ET65.
