210 cab: replica SWR or real Eden?

I'm considering getting an amped rig again. For the cabinet I'm looking for a natural, full-range tone that's more forward than my previous Ampeg 210, not boomy like an Ampeg 410 or honky like an Ampeg 115.
I think I slightly prefer SWR from the impulse responses I've heard, it seems brighter and tighter than Eden with more punch. And it's built by a local bassist/luthier and doesn't cost as much as Eden by Gear4Music. OTOH I wonder if the real Eden would be more reliable and serviceable?
