Light inexpensive 410

I would've thought this topic has been beat to death somewhere on here, but I couldn't find a thread exactly like this. I'd like thoughts/opinions on a lightweight, standalone, low price 410 cab. For purposes of this thread, let's define light as 65 lb or less, standalone means 4 ohm, low price means $500 or less. Some candidates are:

Avatar neo 410 65lb about $500 shipped
Epifunky 410 59lbs about $500
Carvin 410N 65lbs $480 shipped

Any opinions on these, or other candidates that meet this criteria that are out on the market right now? I know the new GK cab claims to be 41lb but it doesn't exist yet.
 
For lightweight also look at the SWR golight and the schroeder 410bmf. Not sure about prices though.

Both of those cabs are easily over $900 +shipping

I've heard good things about the Avatar and Carvin 410s and seen mixed reactions with the Epifunky (mostly concerning it's handling of the low B string). I would also strongly consider a Hartke HyDrive HX410. They're around 65 lbs, are very small and sound incredible better (to me) than what you have mentioned so far. Of course, I owned one so saying I'm a little biased would be an understatement so take my recommendation as you will :)

I beleive the Hartke HyDrive 410 is $600 and 68lb.
