I know this is a longshot, but I was wonder whats the difference in sound between the 2 and if its enough to warrant the 100 dallar price difference?

same driver's . little bit of a weight difference, sound almost the same the mbx is a little heavier on the bass side as it is ported the mbe is not ported and is more focused. save your 100 and your back.mbe

I see you have 212, would you maybe recommend like a neo 212 over the 410?

are they the same drivers? the drivers in the mbx are ceramic but the ones in the mbe are neos. Also the mbe is 800 watts rms vs the 400 on the mbx. I own a 212 mbe and I am very happy with it and its weight

The 212 combo seems to be really popular , and I think that all started because of a weight issue , more output than a 210 , or a single 15 .and less weight than a 410 . plus the 212 when driven pretty hard has a really nice grind to it , but it does give a little away in the upper mids compared to a 410 and a 410 is more in your face.I should have said out of those two cab selections that the drivers are voiced the same. the whole mbe series cabs are super lightweight. If there wasn't a weight issue i would probably still be using an svt tube head and a 810. but the weight of that is just to much for me now days , and I don't really need it.I would probably recomenmd the MBE series just for the weight and power handling and the cost.
