Cabinet Decisions for 2 x 112

[NOLA Bass]

Looking for some feedback. I am in two bands. I have switched from my Epifani PS410 to an Epifani PS210 and PS115 for my tribute band that plays larger venues and has higher volumes. I had neck surgery and the 410 is an issue if I don't have help with it.

My second band is a bit eclectic in playing americana, new orleans funk, alt coutnry, blues, rock, etc. I have been using my Sadowsky into a GK MB2-500 and the Epifani PS210. Since the PS210 is now part of the other rig, I want to go with a smaller setup like 2 x 112's. I want it to be easily put in sedan and no cab much over 40#. We play smaller venues usually and sometimes parking is a bit of an issue.

Here are my candidates:

Epifani PS112 x 2
GK NEO112 x2
Bergantino HT112 + EX112 (thoughts on old vs ER - I don't use a 5ver)

Switch to Orange TerrorBass + SP210

I played the orange into the SP212 and liked it but I am actually worried how loud it is and if the 210 has the lowend of the 212.

I like the flexibility of 2 112's to be honest. Some gigs, 1 cab and some gigs 2 cabs. I like more classic voiced cabs (for instance I lovet he PS line of Epifani but don't really care for the UL line, sold off my Schroeders as I felt they cut through nicely but didn't have that pillow or low end underneath). I would just go Epifani but am intrigued by the Bergantionos which I've always liked. I am concerned though in how power hungry they are. Is my 500 watt head enough for them? Sound wise the HT line?

Thanks!!

Bergantinos are highly regarded as "the best" 12s around here.
The GK (as told by Tombowlus) compare very favorably to the Bergs and are way cheaper.

+1 I do love both the AE112 and the HT112ER, but the Neo112-II gets amazingly close (and kinda slots between the two of them).

how does the 212 compare tone wise to the 112 gks?

Do you mean the GK Neo212-II as compared to the GK Neo112-II? Well, in addition to being of course louder, the Neo212-II has a bit more midrange punch than the Neo112-II, and the 112 has a little more "air," though in most other regards they are fairly similar.

What about a pair of GB NEOX 112T's. I think they sound "bigger" than the GK's and weigh in at just 37 pounds each.
