What would you add to a Mesa buster/PH115? PH 210 or a PH 115

So I have gone all Mesa.
Currently I my rig will be a Mesa Buster Head (200watt all tube) and a older power house 115. I think I want to add another cab, but I am not sure what to add. I am thinking either a Powerhouse 210 or another 115.

210
Pros
More versatility as I can use one can alone for different vibes and settings.
Cons
Phasing issues?

115
Pros
One is awesome 2 is more awesome! No Phasing issues.
Cons
Less versatility what would you do and WHY!

My Buster rig is a 210/15 set up, and it's beyond awesome. I would try to get a matching cab though, meaning, not Powerhouse cabs, but Deisel cabs, like what you've already got. Unless it actually IS a Powerhouse that you've got, then fire away.

I have a powerhouse 15...but it is an old one. I checked the speaker and it is marked EV. I don't know when they changed to the Mesa drivers.

Either one will probably be good. I'm using a 1x15 + 2x10 setup right now, though I'm switching to a 2x15 soon.

I suppose it depends whether you're a bassist who likes to have a whole plethora of different sounds available, or if you're a bassist who likes to stick with a few sounds and just alter the size of the rig rather than sound depending on venue.
