Lets face it too the more You use something, the more miles You put on it, the more it ages.....
This is especially true with gear/tools.....
Something is bound to go wrong, break, get loose etc etc and general "rusting" that comes with gear over time and use..... It's good to have a back up or a spare 112 cab for this reason.
Especially with cabs now rising in Price.... I imagine the labor isnt getting cheaper to make a cab, it takes skill and talent to Make a good one and raw materials and such used to Make magnets in speakers are more and more in demand in general in several industries far bigger than Celestion/Eminence etc etc and the music industry in general.......
The prices for cabs have gone up significantly in a shorts period of time as well and there is that..... Even for 212s such as some oversized boutique makes and offerings..... Some 212s cost as much as solid 412s......
Plus I mean I bet the thing is fucking awesome as well and I say keep it *_*
