Just wondering if anyone had any insight on this question. I have 2 gallien krueger 410 sbx and a gk 1001rb II head. I love them. Is it worth the extra money to upgrade to the 410rbhs. Any infor is appreciated. Thanks.

gk 410sbx vs. 410rbh

If you like the SBX's you may not like the RBH's. I believe they are ported and sound bassier and in my opinion, less articulate. I prefer the SBX myself, I have the 410 and 115 cabs and love them.

I haven't done a side by side comparison but I use 2 - 410RBH cabs. I think they are great cabs although I do wish they were a bit lighter. Oh well can't have everything. 
They might be bassier than the SBX series, I don't know, but they are not a bloomy, sludge type of bassiness. They are still very punchy and articulate. They are a darker sounding cab IMO but I can make them sound as bright as anyone would care to sound without being accused of being a guitar.
Because they are not a direct upgrade but 2 very different cabs I think you actually have to consider if the sound of the RBH justifies the price. And if you actually like the RBH sound over the SBX.

to answer your question.... no

SBX were great cabs.
Shame on GK for dropping them out of the catalogue!
I'd love to try my old RB800 on top of your cabs!

I have the same rig, love it! But I'd be interested to hear from any 410RBH owners too.
Nice T-Bird!
Wow. What is it with young guys and the pickup & bridge covers?
I guess y'all quit smoking?!
