Mesa M9 Downsized

I love, love ,love my M9 carbine.
I was just wondering what speakers cabinets other M9 users are using with it at small gigs?
On some gigs I don't need or want to drag my vintage PH212 with me so I'll use my Ampeg SVT112, I had it before I got my M9 and it sounds OK?
I'm talkin about 112 or 210 size cabinet.
And I know depends on band size, style of music, PA support etc. but,
Again, I'm just curious what combination with this head has worked for others?

I'm using mine with a Berg AE410, even at small gigs. Sounds incredible. I know you said 112 or 210, but it's quite manageable and doesn't dominate the room if I don't want it to.

For reference: I play in basically a classic rock/blues trio + vocals, mainly in small bars.

Fantastic pairing with my Genz Benz NEOX-212T. Only 50 pounds, and gets quite loud if you want it. Sounds great quiet too

Bergantino HT-112ER... I was using 2 of these awhile ago with the M-9 and it sounded fantastic.. I think one cab with you M-9 would be perfect..

I used on rehearsals and small gigs the Powerhouse 2x10 with my M9, was great tone, small size, but that cab wasn't light!

so I switched for the GK NEO 4x10, much easier to lugging around even it's looks biger. For reference: I play in rock, blues, folk sometime in heavy metal bands mainly in great size clubs and bars.
