Finding a 2X12 (or 2)

Ok, so I know that there are those that say you can pick 2: Tone, Weight, Price. But you can't have all 3. Well I am not looking for $50 cabs or anything but I think I can have all 3 within reason.

Was looking at the GK MB212 and getting a couple to put with a GK MB800, but for a while they only had 2 reviews. Now they have 4 and 2 of them say they aren't that good. I am looking to find 2 2X12s that sound good but won't kill my back.

I am replacing my Ampeg American 4X10 and its something like 122 pounds.

I would love some feedback on the GK MB212s

Other ones I was looking at, but have a fair jump in price and a considerable jump in weight are the Avatar 212s and the GK NEO 212s.

If anybody can get rid of my fear of the MB212 or can tell me they are good then please post it here!!!

I play thtough a fEARful 12/6-12/sub with a GK 700RB-II. I love it but at the last Seattle GTG I played through the Uber 212 and it sounded really good. So if you can't find & afford some 3012LFs and build a fearful, I would go with the GB Uber 212. Great tone & bottom end, light and I believe they have wheels as well. I also really like the Mesa Boogie PH 212 but it's not as light as you seem to want. But a great cab neverless.

I would totally go for a Genz-Benz Uber 212 if not for the massive price hike. That is around the price I was looking to pay for 2 212's, like damn. haha
