Markbass CMD 103H Combo

Hey folks....Im looking to downsize from a 88 pound Hartke 4-10 cabinet to something lighter. I tried out a CMD 102P combo as well as the Jeff Berlin single 15 combo. Side by side the JB had way more bottom end, the 102 seemed really thin to me. I had them both set the same way. Im wondering how the 103H compares to them. Guitar Center didnt have one in stock so I couldnt try it. I know the 103 isnt exandable, but with 400 watts, I cant see myself needing more. My Hartke is only 175. Other than that, are there any cons to them? Theres one for sale locally thats 2 months old for under a grand, so Im going to go check it out. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
 
Never tried one (they seem to be rare). This one seems to be a strange bird in the fact it is not versatile at all (no ext cab option).

I think the combo would've been better as a 4x10. The ohms would then be compatible for an extension cabinet like a 104hr or a 102hf like the rest of the combos in their lineup...but since it is a Markbass, I'm sure it kicks major ass.
