Well...
I ended up going to GC in Kalamazoo and got the PF-500 head and the PF-210HE Cab.
I used it tonight in the church we are ministering at and it sounded "AWESOME"!!!
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions!
Very happy with it!

Based on this Ampeg ad I went with 10 inch spearkers rather than 15. Ampeg puts all thier high end products in 10 inch speaker configuration due to their effciency. I suggest 210 or 410 if you are investing for the the future. I personally have the 410 with the 500and I love the sound.

PF115h Update - Outdoor gig got rained out after 45 minutes, but first impression is favorable. I prefer the sound of this cab over my Avatar boxes - tighter and punchier, nice and round with nice tight low end all the way down to the low B. Pretty surprising considering it's size. Very good midrange. Tweet was set at zero, but the bass I was using has flats on it, so prolly not much up there anyway. I'll try my rounds bass tonight - smaller club, indoors. I really like it. Round sound!
I may just have to get a second one.

I like your odds. I guess it depends on how loud the setting and band is...
Plan B could be add a second cab later...
tested the pf-350 and 500 with the 2x10 at my local GC today...sounded nice, but lacked that 15 umph, as someone above mentioned. The compressor on the 500 is surprisingly nice!
The store did not have the 15, or a pf-500 in a box, so i order online (from within the store), with the salesman's assurance I get it by thursday (i have a gig friday that i need to take a walk on ferry (weight limitations), and the room is small)....only to come home to the dreaded back order email....
my back is killing me from hauling around my 410HE (sometimes two of em) with my microtech 1200...so hopefully this new combo will be better for the smaller gigs, and my aching old man back.
thanks to all in this thread...really helps making decisions. no will someone please buy my 84 foundation to help me fund this new purchase!

im going to guitar center right now to get a pf500 and a 210 cab. what all comes with the cab? casters? speakek cable? hardware to fasten the head? i want to make sure i get everything, you know how GC is..........
thanks thats what i thought. the floor cab only has casters. they said they would give me a speaker cab but would have to order the mounting stuff. BOO! does the head come with the mounting screws? what does the mounting stuff consist of?
thanx

Mine came with a speaker cable, casters and mounting hardware -some nut, bolts and washers. The casters were on it, and the rest was in a bag velcro-d to the bottom of the inside of the cab..
I don't think a speaker cable is usually included with the cabs or heads. No cable came with mine. But then again, I'm in Canada and we don't get a lot of free candies here. Only the head mounting screws and washers and the 4 casters in an Ampeg bag velcroed onto the inner bottom side of the cab. I asked the sales guy to include a cable since I bought a floor model that didn't come with the original box, which he did.
I'll never say this enough but these cabs are very well built. After a little over 2 months already, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Mine came sealed box from MF and included the cable. I think it came in the speaker cab but I don't remember.
no cable with mine. I bought the floormodel from GC. I don;t understand why they are so hard to get specially with 63000 views on this thread
