GK cab question

[miss g]

Im pretty set on a getting a GK cab. Im going to get either the GK fusion 550 or 700RB-II head in a few months. Im having trouble deciding on which cab to get. I want to get a 410. I really wish I could try them out but local stores don't carry GK and the closest guitar center is nearly 3 hours away and the last time I was there they only had the backline and goldine series. I know I will be happy with which ever one I choose.

I can afford the 410RBX right now. My question is sound wise, would it really be worth saving up to get the neo 410 or the 410RBH?

what style(s) of music do you play? That will likely effect most people's recommendations. I do a lot of hard rock/prog metal as well as play with a praise team that's pretty much "facemelting" when we do concerts at venues other than the church and I use the 1001-RBII with the 410RBX to great effect. For jazz gigs I might like the neo better, but the RBX has served me well for those as well.

The RBX is a little warmer and has more of an "old school" sound (IMHO) than the RBH. Either choice works well with that head.

Both are heavy and bulky.

Have you considered the NEO 2x12 or 4x12?

For fun I play alot of RHCP style stuff just like more of a funky progressive alternative type but if I were to be in a band it would most likely be punk/pop punk and I really like to slap and pop. The tone id like to have is sort of a flea growly type.

Id like a 410 so in the future I can add a 115. Ive looked at the 212 but I think id be more happy with a 410.

The 410RBX is great. it is a bit boomier and a bit warmer than the RBH, but if you turn down the lows it can get a decent RBH sound

I am using the 1001 RBII with the 410 neo cab and it is pretty dang impressive. I am able to get that gritty growly sound with the boost function on that GK, It is SWEEEEEET!!
