AMPEG SVT-CL Question

I just picked up an ampeg SVT-AV and i have two questions. One is, i am using it with a BSE410H cab which i know runs at 8 ohms. Would i be better off getting a 4 ohm cab like the SVT-410? Also, the control bias for number two has a green led that is much dimmer than the other. Does this matter? Could my tone be better?
Thanks
Mike
 
Can't answer the second question, but the majority of tech heads on here do think you're better off using a 4 ohm or two 8 ohm cabs with SVT's. I have used rented SVT-CL's at 8 ohms in the past without incident, but it's probably not a good idea to do it long term.
