SWR 2 12 cab getting new speakers

[jrgrinder]

i recently picked up an swr bigfoot 2 12 cab for a few dollars knowing the speakers were shot. the original speakers are bag end and i know i don't have that kind of money. i have a 4 10 crate cab that rocks now but the handles are broken and it's too big and heavy for me. i'm a college kid in a professional gigging band (play every weekend) and play in large venues often. i'm looking to spend less than 150 for new speakers for my swr cab. i found some neo 12 Peaveys. does anyone have any experience with these for my application? this cab would definitely be lighter and smaller than my 410 but would i be happy with the sound? thanks in advance.
i'm playing an active fender jazz 24 into backline 600.

i'm open to any and all suggestions too.

Since replacing stock with other brands can be a gamble (sometimes educated and successful), my first impulse would be to see about a rebuild on the stock speakers.

Have you consulted with Bag End about replacements? They might be a little pricey but better sound/less trouble in the long run...

Good luck, have heard good things about that cab and the 4x12 version too.
