All around, I'd say the 2 Pro. However, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
The 2 Pro has amazing punch and warmth. It has a very natural and organic overdriven tone. For 300watts, it gets pretty loud, too. On the flip side, it is all-tube and demands constant upkeep that can be costly. It also weighs almost as much as my 610!
The 4 Pro is great for deep bass and a hi-fi sound. It also offers more cabinet routing/bi-amping options than the 2 Pro. It's also quite a bit lighter than the 2 Pro. It only has tubes in the preamp section; they do not need changed very often.
Now, when you hook both amps up (2 Pro to the 810E/4 Pro to the 610HLF/BDDI for a preamp) the tone and volume is breathtaking and throws bolts of lightning while swinging Thor's hammer!

Nice, I'm running (2)810's with a SVT-4 and a SVP1600. Those two together weight more than a SVT-2. I really want an SVT-2 for the punch and warmth.

Why are the metal corners for the cabinet on the right missing the "lip?" Is that how the new 8x10's come?
Looks like its a guitar amp:

Finally got of pic of my proof. Best of both worlds:
BA-500 350 watt combo to drag to practice...then add the SVT-410HLF for the full 500 watts for gigs

Ampeg B2R into a Carvin 4 -10 currently. But a SVT-4 Pro is calling my name, along with either a second 4 - 10 or a 1x 15.
