I have a GK 212-ii Neo cab on wheels and remove the rear casters on setup. Tilts back to the ideal angle and has always been loud enough, even outdoors with a semi loud rock band. Easier to move and handle than a trapezoid shaped box IMHE.

Thanks for the replies got a little to look at.
Budget wise I am flexible, somewhere between buy once cry once and bang for buck.

Bottom line: light, low and loud=expensive. Whether you go fEarful, fEarless, Bergantino, Audiokinesis....anything under about 55 lbs that can match a conventional 410 will cost a bundle (and IMHO be well worth it) unless you can find used or DIY. If I was starting from scratch, needed a loud, flexible rig, and had the cash, I'd get a a Bergantino CN212 and a CN112 with a head that can go to 2 Ohms, or a fEarless 210 and 110.
Right now there's a fEarful 15/6 in the classifieds-I'd do that if I was a bit tighter.

I play with a guy that uses a Crate 100 watt full stack and isn't afraid to crank it.
BX 1500 on a fEARful 15/6/1.
Total weight ~65 pounds.
Bridged into 8 ohms 900 watts.
Total outlay ~ $1,150.
Takes up ~ 20 x 16 inches of stage.
Got the amp on sale.
Built the cab.
I usually have it set flat, volume around 9 o'clock.
Guitard begs me not to turn up any more.
That's my solution and I think I am set for quite a while.

there's a 12/6 in the classifieds. I have a 12/6 and 12 sub and I rarely bring the sub anymore. the 12/6 is plenty. it's flat out amazing what that cab can keep up with and stay clean - I've still never heard it fart.
I play with 2 loud guitarists and I play through a GK MB500 and 2) svt 210av and have plenty of volume. Each cab is 26 lbs and the amp is 5 or 6 lbs and I love it. I stack the cabs vertical and can hear just fine.
