Ampeg 410HLF+410HE vs. Ampeg 810E

I currently have the 810e, and am desiring some more low end. I have been researching, and have found that most consider 2 410hlfs on top of each other to be too muddy and boomy. Has anyone tried out a 410 hlf+410he stack? In theory that would give me the low end boost I'm craving, while maintaining the punch and power. Tell me your thoughts oh wise ones...:D
 
Sonic differences aside, the HLF is 4 ohms while the HE is 8 ohms so the two will not make for a good pairing. The HLF will receive double the power of the HE and the combination would present a 2.6 ohm load so not something you could do unless you have a 2 ohm stable head.
