Help me choose which Tecamp Cab - M212 or S212

Howdy TB. Been on another buying spree and have to make a tough choice, relatively speaking. Just got both of these cabs here on TB and they both sound terrific. The M212 is a little deeper sounding than the S212, which is a little punchier, but there's tons of overlap between the 2 cabs and they're both full and super clean. They are both 8 ohm/600W cabs, front ports, and both have Tecamp's cool "dial in" tweeter system.

The S212 is in very good condition (a few minor tolex scuffs when I got it, but hard to photograph). The S212 is a few inches narrower and a few pounds lighter than the M212. Here's the post I got it from:

FS: Tecamp PUMA 1000+S210(8)+S212(8)

And here are the specs:

Model: S 212
Configuration: 2 x 12”
Power RMS: 600 w
Horn: 1” NTW1 horn with tweeter switching system
Sensitivity: 101 dB
Freq. Response: 40-19.000 Hz
Impedance: 4 ohms or 8 ohms
Connections: 2 x Neutrik Speakon® parallel
Dimensions: (W x H x D):
44 cm x 75 cm x 41 cm / 17.4" x 29.6" x 16.2"
WEIGHT: 18,5 kg / 39.68 lbs

Here's a link to KJung's review of this cab with the original Puma 500: TecAmp S212/Puma500 Ultra Light Rig

The M212 is in mint condition, less than 1 year old, only saw 2 gigs by the prior owner. Comes with a LeCover cover. Here's the post I got it from:

FS: Tecamp M212 8ohm mint with custom cover

And here are the specs:

Model: M 212
Configuration: 2 x 12”
Power RMS: 600 w
Horn: 1” NTW1 horn with tweeter switching system
Sensitivity: 101 dB
Freq. Response: 38-19.000 Hz
Impedance: 8 ohms
Connections: 2 x Neutrik Speakon® parallel
Dimensions (W x H x D): 54 x 75 x 41 cm / 21” x 29,5” x 16”
Weight: 20 kg / 44 lbs

So, as you can see, it's a tough choice. They're both great cabs, very similar, but with their own flavor and benefits. I will keep whichever doesn't sell first.

Just looking to get back what I have into them: $700 for the S212. $925 for the M212. Both prices are shipped CONUS. Paypal okay. No trades for now.

Thanks for your help, DM

M212 is sold pending payment, which means I'm keeping the S212. I'll close the thread when all's final. Thx TB.
