It matters, and it is important too. The music you play was originally made on 15's. Get a Rumble 115. For OCD peeps absolute symmetry is of utmost importance, and the matching Rumble 210 is their choice.
Any electrical supply store will have them. I don’t know where you’re based, and the plug will obviously vary by country, but the connector that goes into the amp is a C13, I believe. These are commonly used on computers and such, and therefore cheap and easy to come by.
Just call Fender, they'll send you one. If you want a better one D'Addario has come out with some nice ones. D'Addario Accessories
I can only tell you my preference is to complement the 15". Others will give you a decent sounding explanation on why using the 2x10" will work. There really is only how it sounds to you in the end.
Sounds good to me and thanks @Michael B and @Linnin
. I was just trying to understand the "coupling effect". Until I do, I will go with two of the same. It worked for me years ago

I've been running my Ampeg SCR-DI into the effects return of my V3 Rumble 500 and dig having the added tonal option. My bass is plugged into the DI. I can get decent volume but it's not nearly as loud as when using the Fender preamp. When the DI is plugged in, no controls on the combo have any effect, including the master volume. Is this normal or am I connecting things wrong? I much prefer the Ampeg tone when using the effects return than the combo input.
So, which stacking method do OCD peeps prefer for the 115?
The logos match, but not the cabinet edges:

Neither logos nor cabinet edges match:
15" woofers are magic for bass. The bigger the woofer the broader the dispersion. It's that simple. Good 15's give a solid and authoritative bottom end. Add another for the cabinet coupling effect and you've more than doubled your low end oomph/thrust. You double the air being moved and double the total dispersion right along with it. Good 15's give a wide smooth midrange that smaller drivers can't match in terms of broad dispersion. You'll sound better and be better heard at the same time even at the very same SLP/dB level.
Anyone who works on\builds PCs probably has 3 or 400 of them laying around
I bought my Ampeg SCR-DI for practicing through earphones. Once I got my Rumble 200C, I played through it's speaker and with earphones and was very happy with the "vintage" setting. I did play with the settings though. I guess everyone's mileage may vary

Hosa makes a plug that goes into any (U.S. style) 3 prong extension cord. Pics taken w/ flip phone:

Don't get me wrong, I like the Fender tone too. But I like the Ampeg tone as well. It's nice being able to get both out of the same combo. I have a Rumble 210 cab that I got to pair with the combo but don't need that much volume all the time. I leave that at my band's rehearsal place and take my Peavey MiniMax to plug in. The cab sounds great with that too. I enjoy the tonal variety.
If you want more volume just run your 'peg in the FX loop and plug into the Rumble normally.
