3 different rigs

How will the Eden DC210XLT Metro compare to the Ashdown Mag 300 115?

I know they're completely different. But I won't have a chance to hear both before I decide (don't ask, it's not worth getting into).

Tell me if I'm wrong. But as I gather from reviews the Eden is loud, heavy (78lbs), pretty clean and accurate but with some warmth, and in this case $400. And the Ashdown is light (less than 30lbs), not as loud, pretty warm but maybe not quite as articulate, and $220.

Am I way off on any of that?
 
I pulled the trigger on the Eden.

The amp didn't have casters or a footswitch. Isn't that supposed to come with it?

It's not a big deal. I don't need the footswitch, and I can probably replace the casters fairly cheap, right?
