New Fender rigs or new color?? Namm

Anyone else notice the new Fender rigs Tom Bowlus has just posted on the Bass Gear Mag facebook page? I assume it must be the Super Bassman/810 neo and 100T/610 neo combos but in white tolex, can't quite make out the faceplates. Cool look though I prefer the black tolex - easier to keep clean.
 
I have the Super Bassman 300 and really enjoy the versatility and great tone it pushes. I have not used Fender amplification products live in years for lots of reasons - but mainly because I just didn't think they cut on the larger stages.

My question for any one that really knows the new Fender products is this -

Do those new bass cabs (black or blond) really have what it takes to compete with the top shelf cabs that other manufacturers produce?

I think the Super Bassman 300 amplifier can hack it but can the matching 6x10 and/or 8x10 cabs really do the job in terms of tone, projection and durability?
