Ampeg: 2X 410HE or 610hlf?

I currently own 2 Ampeg 410HE's and I am relatively happy with the sound. I bought them instead of an 810 because they are modular. This way I can bring only one cab to small gigs and both cabs to larger.
However they are not easy to drag around and often both cabs are to big as they go very loud with my Fafner.
I wonder if it would not make sense to sell them both and buy a single 610hlf? I would have only one cab to transport and it would be easier because of the wheels and the towel bar. It would still pass size-wise on pub gigs I guess.
2nd question is I owned a 410hlf in the past which I found too dark and boomy. But then I had another amp. Is it correct that the 610 is less boomy? I am not in the possibility to test first, I would have to buy online.
Thanks for your input! :smug:
 
You may trade up one of the 410 he cabs for a 410hlf, a lot of people here seem to prefer them.
Just bring the hlf to the bigger shows.
Sounds like you already got a good deal going, don't let the GAS take control! GAS costs money, and the price of GAS is going up!
I should also say that mixing cabs can be an adventure...
