Mesa 2X15 Cabs

I see Mesa Boogie has finally come out with a new 2 x 15 cab for the Subway line.
I had mentioned it on a forum a year or two ago and a guy from Mesa actually responded and said he too would love too see them come out with a new 2x15 cab.
So now even the guys who want smaller portable bass cabinets can have a compact 2 x 15 to really push some bottom end in their rig.
My ideal set up would be a 2x15 on the bottom and a 2 x 10 on the top. Seems like a better combination than a 1 x 15 and 4 x 10 to me. 4 X 10 cabinets are not light so I'm not sure where that idea ever came from.

If you were running both full range, an 8 ohm 2x10 would pair ok with a 4 ohm 2x15 and a capable amp. But an 8 ohm 15 and 8 ohm 2x10 would be matched much better. Then you double that with appropriate power if you need more volume.

For biamping, I'd rather have a really serious 15 or 18" sub that was crossed over to something between a 2x10 to a 4x10. With a 2x15 sub, I'd be looking at insane volumes and definitely matching it at least with a 4x10, crossed over fairly low (120 or less).
