4 ohm cab options for Fender Bassman 100

[Erik the Red]

Hey guys. So I rock a '70's bassman 100 through an acoustic 2x15. I love that cab to death, but it's a little big for my needs. I've been considering getting a cab for practice/gigs with PA support. 4 ohm options seem limited, and I'll be on a tight budget. I don't know how tight yet, as I'm still feeling out the market. I wouldn't consider anything over six hundred or so. Used will be by far preferred.
I need a bit of versatility; I'll be using it for a rock band (my acoustic 2x15 doesn't let me push the master on the fender above six or seven, and I've noticed it sounds quite nice when I crank it more), a raggae project I've been starting, and possibly also a cover band, doing classics. I currently have all my basses strung with flats.
Options I've been considering:

Avatar TB153: Would the 100 tube watts be enough for me to get by with this guy? I've been quite interested in these

GK 212 MBE: I've never seen anyone using Fender amps and GK cabs. Any thoughts on how it would do? It would be quite a hunt to find one used i think.

Ampeg 410HLF: I hear this one can get a little muddy. Probably easy to find used though. I would probably appreciate a flatter cab. Any other Ampeg options in 4 ohm that I should consider that aren't fridges?

Aguilar DB210/212: pricey, but look nice. I believe I read somewhere that Aguilar cabs tend to be a little scooped... that might be rough, as I value my mids.

I feel like I'm missing the magic cab that will fit my needs perfectly.
What do you guys think?

The Avatar TB153 has been getting GREAT reviews here at T.B.
Some posters are rating it as possibly one of the better commerically built bass cabinets now on the market.
If I was looking to replace what I'm gigging with now a TB153 would be first on my list.

Thanks. From what I've heard the tb153 is getting a lot of love from users with heads in the 3-900 watt range. Will the bassman drive it or would I do well to take advantage of the GB deals avatar has up right now?

From my experience with 100w all tube amps, you'll be left wanting for volume with just a single 15-even if it IS in the 3 way design. Depends how loud ya play tho.
The GK 212 would be high on my list.

IMO not enough power for the TB153.
