TC Electronic additional RS cabinet advice

Ok so I'm running an rh450 with an rs212 and am thinking about buying another rs cab to link. Any recommendations on another 212 or a 210 (both rs)? Pros/cons?

If you already have the 212, go with a second one. You already know you like the 212, so doubling up is more of what you like. Adding a different cab can be unpredictable.

Stack the cabs vertically for better dispersion and to get the drivers closer to your ear.

If that still isnt enough, I think you can add a thrid RS212 for a killer big rig.

I'm using a RS 210 with my RS 212. It adds some clarity and mids that the 212 lacks. On its own, the 212 is a little dark sounding to my ear. The 210 brightens and tightens up the sound.

A lot of people dig this combination. Same manufacturer and design, and they tout them as a combination. From that perspective, I think it's safe enough to consider. I had it at one point, but my ear isn't discerning to get into to much of the nuance. With a grain of salt...I thought the basic character of the cabinets was very similar inside the margins, with the 212 being a little smoother and fatter. The 212 is obviously more capable volume-wise.

One pro is that with the RS210/RS212 stack, you have a modular thing going, where you have three options instead of two. The 210 is a little easier to get around, and if you have instances where it'll get the job done by itself, you have the option.
