GK212MBE vs TC Electronics BC212?

Carrying my Eden CX212 (68# on the bathroom scale) up and down my stairs got me thinking about lighter weight cabinets. I used to haul a 410xlt up and down, and this is way easier!
Anybody compare the GK212MBE (34#) against the TC BC212? (44#). The GK is quite a bit lighter and higher power rated, but they're the same size and both about $400.
I really like the tone of my Eden, and the size is convenient too, - 20+ pounds lighter would be nice.

Stairs? Have you thought about 2 x 112 cabs? I use a single 112 about 90% of the time.

My thinking at this moment… a 212 at 34lbs, why bother with one/two 112s?

And personally I like 34lbs far more than 44lbs.

Which is actually lighter than one of my 43# DB112's anyway. lol. Carry on....

I tried the 212MBE and it the first impression is that you can't beat the price/power/weight ratio on that cab. Still not ordered it yet, but it is the main contestant at the moment. Also comes in 4 ohm.
