Choosing the right bass speaker

Hello to all. I have recently come back from back surgery and I'm looking to get lighter gear (sold/traded my SWR Goliath and Son of Bertha speakers). I still have my Eden WT800 for now but am looking to downsize it too, but I will not sacrifice speaker tone. My first speaker choice is the Eden D210XLT; had one of those w/a 410XLT but traded/sold them and got SWR gear (wish I hadn't). The Conklin I have is strung F#-C and the Eden 210XLT handled that low string well. I have also been considering other manufacturers, specifically Epifani (the UL2 & PS 210s), but here in TN there are no dealers; I'd hate to buy one and not like it. I do like the fact that they are lighter than the Eden with similar specs; I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this as well as other manufacturers.

Thanks,
AdrianDB
