I think this more than qualifies me

Ok I fixed the picture... but the rig is:
AD200B (MK3)
SP 410 cab
115 cab

Exactly the rig that I'm working on saving up toasted right now. Is there anything you think that it's lacking? (volume, bass from the "missing" 2 10's) I'm really excited to try out the sp410, but I might have to buy one sight unseen if I decide to do it. :/
 
It's the best rig I have ever heard or dealt with.
The 115 can handle its own but the sp410 brings the upper frequencies out to make a complete sound.
It lacks nothing, I have yet to crank it even most of the way because it starts shaking my house. The 410 sounds amazing, the port brings out the lower tones and the front speakers provide the sound of the normal 410. It sounds much more focused than any other cab I've heard. Everything stacks up right and sounds amazing.
 
Responding to a craigslist ad, I went to go get a matching OBC115 to stack up with the one I already have. While testing it out, the seller told me he also had an OBC410 for sale. I hooked it up and had a listen, and it sounded good. Then, for giggles, I played both cabs together and was just stunned - massive air movement and low end with clarity and articulation! The seller then offered to sell me the 410 for the same price as the 115.

I wasn't sure which one to buy, after reading all the threads on mismatched drivers. I also know that the OBC115 I have is loaded with a Delta speaker, and wasn't sure if the OBC115 I demoed had a Delta or Gamma speaker, which according to the engineers, would make the whole matching drivers point moot if they weren't the same. I also didn't bring my cab, so I had no way of knowing how the pair of fifteens sounded vs. the stack I was blown away by. In the end I trusted my ears and my gut, and bought the 410 for $269, as it was too good a deal to pass up.

To those who have played both the 410/115 and 115x2 stacks, what are the plusses and minuses of each? As much as I love the sound of the 410/115, I'm second-guessing myself and wondering if I made the best choice.
 
Tonight I decided to try something new. I plugged my P-Bass into my Orange AD30 head into a Marshall 4x12 (with Celestion Vintage 30's). Cranked the master, but kept the gain very low. Treble and midrange at noon, bass at 2:00.

WOW.

This might be one of the best sounds I've ever gotten. It was surprisingly loud and punchy, with just the right amount of growl. Increasing the gain ever so slightly took me into Motorhead territory. It sounded incredible. You can bet I will be trying this setup out the next time I am in the studio.
