The s212 has the tightest low end of their 212's but IMO is still plenty full and plump. Unless youre way into dub/subbass or have some other reason to need massive low end, the s212 should be fine. If there's any doubt, go m212.
What kind of amp are you running?...I have a Puma 900 and a M212(8 ohm)...and have an FBASS AC6 and BNFF6...and there is lots of headroom and volume...for some of my outdoor rock gigs...im thinking of adding a M210 to the top...just for that extra kick in the colon!!!!...Im primarily a jazz player and the P900 and M212...=tons of volume !!!
4 or 8 is your choice...I went 8 ohm as I wasn't sure if I would need an add-on later in life for my other gigs...
but to answer your question...will you squeeze more out of a 4 ohm than 8 ohm...Yes!

Ya like i think id like to get a 4ohm s212 just have 900 watts going into that cab. Have some good headroom and lots of power to drive those speakers nicely
I mostly play bars
How would a tonehammer 500 and 2 sl 112 cabs compare?

There is a lot of utility in having two x 112 speaker cabs!!...weight...easy to move...musically directional ....and stack vertical...
sorry I have no experience with the Tone Hammer ....outside of Tec Amps...I have only played larger rigs...Ag DB751 with 8x10.
maybe someone else can chime in!
Good luck on your musical quest!

The good news about a 900 is that it's such a hammer, an 8 ohm s212 will be amply powered. With the 500 I think it would be more of a consideration to weigh the flexibility of 8 ohms vs the efficiency of 4 ohms

You live that close to Hamilton? Go visit George, Marcel and company. You will truly know you want an F Bass after that.

Haven't heard the ceramic, checked out a handful of and owned the Neo's. My beef with the ceramic is that IIRC its grille cloth and no metal grille. Makes me nervous from a protection standpoint. However, I would lean towards ceramic, from a tonal perspective.
