NCD - Avatar SB126

This is mine, I had it for a good price. I liked it a lot. The construction is really solid and the sound is pretty good.

TLDR; should go with the neo or ceramic cab?

Deets:
I've been reading up on the SB126 cab. It sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. But I have some questions for y'all.

Do any of y'all have the neodym version of this cab? I believe it only comes in 4ohm right? It's 6lbs light than the ceramic LF version. I think the LF comes either 4ohm or 8ohm right?

Conventional wisdom says to go with 8ohm cabs if you're gonna use a 2nd cab - also 8ohm. But if the 4ohm neo SB126 sounds as good, or better, than the ceramic LF. Could the 4ohm neo cab be a good one cab solution for a function/wedding band bassist?

Here is a DI recording of the juicy bass tone I go for. I'm not a slapper, and I don't like clank. I like a controlled low end, with a bit of grind in the low-mids.
