SWR Headlite/Golight 2x10 vs. Eden WXT264/EX110

So I'm suffering from a bit of indecision right now. First though, I must disclose that I am a HUGE fan and user of SWR amps and cabs, which also makes this indecision even harder.

Shortly after the SWR Headlite and Golight cabs came out, the music store I work for got a shipment of them in. I took one of the Headlites and a Golight 2x10 with me to a few gigs to tool around with and try out, and I must say I am impressed with the small size yet big sound of the amp and the lightness of the cabinet, and I have been contemplating getting that setup for myself. Then about 2 weeks ago I'm off work and killing some time before I have rehearsal one night and I'm at another local music store here not affiliate with the one I work with (Yes we're in direct competition, but they do have some nice stuff!) just browsing around and I go into their amp room and seated right at eye level (strategically, surely) is this small Eden setup with an amp that's almost as small as the SWR Headlite but with a full-range 1x10 cab. I grab a bass (a Schecter P+Dual J setup, very nice!) and plug in and to quote the great Harry Carey "HOLY COW!!" This little dude has a great sound to it!!

Unfortunately I don't have the ability to plug the two amps in beside each other to make a comparison, but I'm wondering if there are any of you folks out there that have had experience with both of these setups and might give me your opinions on both. Thanks!!
