I've been researching these two myself. I understand the sound is comparable from both. So the things that stand out to me most are:

Carvin BRX10.4NEO 76 LBS 1200 Watts $499 +$45 shipping DuraTex™ scratch resistant,weatherproof polyurethane cabinet

Avatar B410 NEO 65 LBS 1000 Watts $519 +$48 shipping Tolex covering

The Carvin works for me because of the amp I would be using.Also, the weatherproof feature would be helpful in case you are caught outside by some inclement weather.

I own the CARVIN, but have also played gigs with the B410 and chose the CARVIN because it's low end sounded a tad bit tighter too me. Also the CARVIN is built like a tank and only weighs 76lbs.

I have no experience with the Avatar stuff other than snooping around the site so I can't say anything one way or the other about their stuff. I do own the Carvin however and I absolutely love it. It handles the low B on my dual HB equipped 6er with no issues at all.

+1. You should pat yourself on the back for that decision. I'll put the Carvin BRX 410 against anything out there...... no matter what it cost new.

They're basically same price and the Avatar is 9 lbs lighter. No brainer to me.
