Hartke HyDrive HX410, hands down. The biggest downside imo is that it's 8 ohms. The HyDrive 5410C combo is a LH500 with a 4 ohm HX410 though.

Hmmm.. I never tried a Hartke.. How does it sound compare to AE410? (I really dig the AE410)

Honestly? Much more similar than different. Had the Hartke been 4 ohms I might have never gotten the Berg in the first place, though now that I have it I don't see it leaving unless someone has 2 AE210s for trade ! The Berg has a tighter bottom end and a bit more punch in the low mids. The Hartke is a tad more sparkly (think Marcus Miller) up top. Of course, the Berg does look sexy so it gets that point too .

And as far as the 5410C combo I haven't tried it in person but I've owned the 8 ohm version of the cab, of course, and I've played a bunch of LH500 and they sound fantastic! I was going to get one myself but I got a great deal on both my F500 and AE410 so I ran with it, lol.

I think GK has a 410 for around $350. Not sure of the ohms, but I think it makes it under your 75 lb limit.

With a 410, the difference in volume you'll get between an 8 or 4 ohm cab is nothing- where having an 8 ohm 410 means you can always add a 2nd cab, no matter the amp.

I know, I know, but...go with an Avatar B410 Neo.
I have one (8 ohms) and it rocks.

GK makes a Neo 410, it is just a little more than $500, but from what I have been told not bad at all.

I tried it and definitely liked the Hartke better. The GK was really scooped and the only head that seemed to fill out the mids naturally was the GK MB-500 (Tried a few markbass heads, my ibanez promethean, and a GK 700RB-II).

I agree the Neo 410 of GK is really scooped I tried one at an open mic.. Btw, the 410 will be paired up with an LMIII that's why I need 4 ohms cause pretty much I wanna max out its power.. Thanks!
