should i be patient or go for the cheap option?

I've decided on a GK 800rb for my head. I'm getting it on the 19th.

I'm picking up a GK backline 210 for $100 tomorrow.

The question:

Should I buy a backline 15 for $100...now. This would let me use all the power in my amp right now. (4 ohms total)

However eventually I'm leaning towards an Avatar 4 ohm 410 for the main out and I'll keep the GK 210 (maybe upgraded later) for use with the 100 watt high out (whether I biamp it or not).

So the Gk 15 would be phased out pretty fast.

Should I make do with the 210 for awhile and get the avatar or go ahead and buy the cheap 15?

Does the avatar 410/gk210 combo seem like a good long range combination?
 
I think you already know the answer to this, but....

If money is a fickle thing in your life, get the Backline now. If you know that the ship is coming in soon and you'll be able to drop the 450 or so on the Avatar then wait.

You'll probably be able to unload the Backline for close to what you are looking for anyway.

Just what I think.
