Thots/Opinions on Bergantino 212 vs Epifani 212 vs GK 212

Three bass cabs I am considering to go with my new GK MB500 Class D Amplifier:

Thots/Opinions on Bergantino 212 vs Epifani 212 vs GK 212

I have played this amp with my own bass guitars through the Bergantino. Loved it, but very, very hard to find.

So, I'm considering the other two as viable options.

Thoughts? Opinions welcome.

From what I can see, cabs from Maker A match ideally with amps from Maker A, and cabs from Maker B match ideally with amps from Maker B often enough, so that the onus of evidence is typically upon anyone who would seek to demonstrate better results with a custom mix & match...

In other words, as good as Bergantino and Epifani consistently are, neither one is necessarily a better match for a GK amp - than is a GK cab...

In this particular case, I can attest that a GK MB500 with a pair of GK Neo 12s works very nicely (although instead of a single Neo 212-II cab, I own a pair of Neo 112-II cabs - which I really like, not only for the great tone and light weight, but for the optimum modularity)...
