Need advice on second cab!

Hi I'm new and I have a problem haha

So I currently have a Bag End Q10BX-D and an Ampeg B4R I got for 600 bucks on clearance at guitar center (awesome). This set up is doing 700 watts at 8 ohms into the cabinet, but the amp is capable of 1000 watts into 4 ohms. So this summer I am looking at getting another cabinet. It has to take 500 watts and sound good!

I would prefer it to be a Bag End, but the only cabs that I think I would want to use and can take the 500 watts are the one that I have now and the S18E-D. however, the S18E-D requires the INFRA processor and I can't afford both. Are there any Bag End cabinets you guys think would work in my scenario?

Also, I'm not set on using all Bag End stuff, so if there is like an awesome cabinet that is 8 ohms and will take 500 bucks and costs ~750 bucks let me know!!!!

THANKS!!!
