I have 2-GK-MBE115 (35lbs ea),along with hartke,ampeg and SWR. I find myself using 1-MBE115 and my GKMB200(great little amp or my GK1001rb II. Great tone. But 1 trip(46lbs) n out the door that includes (stingray5,mb200,mbe115). It is better to have components like heads,cabs for more versatility and to be able to taylor your rig. Nothing against combos as I own 2 of those also. But compact,light n keep it moving cant be beat. Ultimately your choice. Whatever you decide, good luck.
