I'm thinking F110 to fit between the Crazy 8 and the BB2. It's only 0.6 the size of the BB2 and the floor monitor shape appeals. It does weigh about the same as a BB2 even with an Okoume build

I'm always surprised how small the Super Midget seems compared to the Big Baby 2 - but comparing their dimensions I shouldn't be - the SM is only 57% of the volume of the BB2!
Well I have two Crazy8s and a BB2, and used to own Fearless 110 and 210 cabs. My main question here is what's the goal? The F110 weighs about the same as a BB2. Sure, it's a wedge form factor and might have some utility, but there's far more bottom end and volume capability with the BB2. The Crazy8 is terrific for coffee shop type gigs with my acoustic bass. Once you're used to a BB2, trying to goose a Crazy8 into a loud situation (or even not so loud but still rockin') is just a disappointment. The F110 has great tone but can't hold a candle to the BB2 overall. I'd rather have the BB2 (which I do!).
Or you could get a Super Midget. It's louder, lighter, and cheaper than an F110 and sounds every bit as good (or better).
As I already have a BB2 and have no plans to change it, an F110 would be about form and size, sitting between the crazy 8 and BB2. Can't offer a reasonable reason why the Super midget doesn't appeal

Nice review. Thanks kindly; I always appreciate reading your thoughts.
Did you have any thoughts on Barefaced vs Fearless?
Totally agree with Plutonium, that is exactly why I went this route, the flexibility it provides.
Honestly only you can answer that. I use the (2) One10 stack with a Mesa D800 and love it. Nice thick bottom with a smooth top end. A GK head would have more of that GK highs I would think, which I would not want, but you might prefer.
I'm considering cutting loose my BB2 to raise some quick cash as my SM really more than covers my current needs. However, it will only be a temporary hole in my 2 x 12 BF setup 
Figured I'd drop the club a heads up first. PM if interested.

Mister Claber sir, you are a genius.
Best tone ever. I have been playing since 1991.

Thee Landlord Molester Setup. But seriously. Of course i have moved this to our rehearsal space.
A question for you guys. I'm from a similar camp, the AudioKinesis guys... However, lately, I've become interested in the One10's. How do you guys think the One10 compares with the AudioKinesis H1203? I'm not getting rid of the AK but I"m looking for a small 10" cab for my MB200.
On another note, have any of you ever compared the Barefaced 810 cabinet with an Ampeg SVT 810? I'm wondering with an Ampeg PF800 how close would the Barefaced capture the SVT sound? Probably a stretch, I know, but it doesn't cost a cent to ask....
