SWR Goliath III vs. SWR Golight

Other than the raging 35 lb. difference in weight, is there anything else that makes these cabinets different? Price is the same as well, so I'm guessing if the tone is similar than the Goliath III just became almost obsolete....

Bump for this!... I'm also curious... have been considering getting two 2x10 Golights but would like to hear more about how they compare with the 2x10 Goliath.... Anybody out there?

I owned both the 2x10 and 4x10 Goliath III cabinets, and sold both of them when the Golights came out. But for a few weeks I owned all four (see pic). I can tell you that I much prefer the newer ones. They are not only lighter, but they sound better to me. They have a bit more at 40-60hz, and less "clank" in the horn. Both of these are improvements to me. Power-handling wise, they seem the same. I also sold my Aguilar gs112 (left side of pic), as it weighed more than 2x10 Golight, and didn't sound as good.
