i need a new cab

so right now i love my rig, and the sound of it... but its a little too big. Ive got a swr sm900 and 610 cab (both pre fender). i wanna keep using the same head but want a new light weight cab that will sound similar just be more portable. ive been looking at some of the new golights and also the gk neo series, but i have very little experience with either so i was hoping somebody could suggest a new lightweight cab that will sound the most like my pre fender 610 cab...
 
well. i just played an SWR 750X through both the gk neo series and a 4x10 goliath IV. Goliath won (3 ears approved). i play a 1992 yamaha 6 string TRB-6P. the 4 x 10 goliath actually has a lower frequency rating than the 6x10 cab (40 Hz and 55 hz, respectively), which i did not play, but the 4x10 cab definitely had a perfectly clear tone where each note was crisp and clear, yet supported with a low end. I'm personally struggling with what SWR set up i should get and am considering either the SM-900 vs 750X. would i be making a potentially foolish mistake by buying a fender versus a pre-fender SMR? Also, how satisfied are you with the sm 900? is it too powerful?
 
Get yourself two 40LB 2-10s and stack 'em. That will give you portability, lots of volume and you can stack them vertically which will allow you to hear yourself better.

Edit: If you prefer SWR check these out. Two would be fantastic:
