Best option for a 2x 210 rig?

[BassmanPaul]

My vertical stack of a pair of Acme B2s does everything I ask of it.

If I were you I would consider a neo 410, maybe even a 212. 2 210's will cost more than 1 410 so you will get more bang for your buck. 210's will have to be carried everywhere they go. A 50# cab may not seem like much, but after the 1st 100 yards it starts to get HEAVY! 2 210's is 1 load by itself, with a 410 you can stack everything on top and wheel it in. Neo 410's aren't that heavy and shouldn't be too hard to load in and out of a car or stage.

Just my $.02

I'm a 2x12 user myself. But I rarely play 4 string's and need the extra low for the b.

@ the OP:
There's a few good deals on cabs in the classifieds section here on tb. For Sale: Amps, Preamps, and Cabinets - TalkBass Forums

Cool. I had to make sure because some sites make mistakes. If you search the GK 210MBX on Music123 they say it has 1 4 and speakons but the picture of the back only shows speakons. Thanks everyone for your help!

It's has both

...or you can use a hand truck or cart and take whatever you need in one trip.

Very true, but you still can't get 2 Avatar 210's and a handcart for $300, but you can find an Avatar Neo 410 for that.

I'll chime in for Avatar's 210 cabinets.
I'm gigging with two Avatar 210 Neo cabinets as a vertical 410 powered by a GK MB2-500 head.
I tried out a bunch of 210 cabinets...
When sound, componet quality, and cabinet build quality was considered, Avatar's inexpensive pricing made it a no-brainer for me!

Ampeg Micro 210 SVT. Vertical 4x10. Light and easy to move around.

Buy Ampeg SVT-210AV Micro Classic Bass Cabinet | Amp Cabinets | Musician's Friend

299 new each, but you can get them used for cheaper, or wait for a MF/GC or coupon elsewhere.

I second this suggestion.

I think those little cabs are the coolest sounding and looking 210s out there.

Markbass 102 combo + 102HF cabinet

Sweet, punchy, powerful and LOUD!

The traveller 102 is sweet also, and LIIIGGGHT!!!

My $.02:

GK is NG - MDF as far as I can tell - saw one opened up recently - I prefer real plywood.

Avatar & Carvin - good for the money / birch / made in USA

I've been using a pair of SWR Goliath Jr IIIs for years with good results - currently have a custom made set in natural birch (like the Bag End finish) with Delta 10s.

The SWR GoLight 210s would be nice, but they're a little pricey, so I'd go Avatar or Carvin.

The difference between Avatar and Carvin...
Avatar uses the more expensive cast framed Eminence Neo drivers with a custom x-max...
Carvin uses the less expensive steel stamped framed Neo drivers from Eminence...

I don't know if there's any difference in sound between a cast frame or stamped steel frame speaker.
