None, Jim has been very clear he is not interested in competing with current offerings.

Well shoot. I want a new 4 x 12 but with broken in speakers.

Agree with none but H75 is one of the more agressive scumbacks.

I don't see the need in recreating a current production speaker, so that's why I don't have a V30 replica. The V30 has a 55hz 444 cone, but there are variations between Mesa, Bogner, etc. My H55 uses a 444 55hz style cone, but it doesn't have the upper mid spike of the V30 (sorry, not sorry!). The H75 uses a 1777 style cone with a doping/chemical treatment, and is pretty aggressive. My most aggressive speaker would be the BH75 which uses a BlackBack era cone and a special treatment to enhance the upper mids.

Clips on YT, or on my site if you need reference tones.

H75 / M75 is always a winning combination.

I had M75's and they very very polished, perfect for agressive Marshalls but too much for my Naylor or Bogner.
For 4x12 I using J75s on top and H75 for bottom in straight Bogner...outstanding cab.
Quickie with Wizard as I see You have some.

I’ve only ever played thru the Mesa version and I love em. I’ve read many times over the years they sound much better than normal ones….

Buy the Mesa v30s from Mesa. Duh. ?

They sound much the same, I wouldn't worry about it.

The difference when you put a Mesa up against say a Marshall 1960V is the cab dimensions/construction and the fact that 16Ω speakers generally sound brighter and more scooped.

Heresy! Have the speaker Illuminati got to you too?

Just buy a cheaper looper pedal, lay your cab face down on a rug/carpet, and then go run some errands for a few hours.
