Smaller Rig

Hey everyone, just wondering what your thoughts were on a few different cabs. I have an Ampeg SVT-3 Pro and Ampeg 610 now, but would like another more portable cab for smaller gigs and practices. I'm wanting to not spend anymore than $200 -250 on a 2x10 cab. So far I've found the Peavey Headliner 210 and Carvin BR210 for about $200 on some websites and an Ampeg 210he on Craigslist for $200. Any suggestions on which is a better bang for your buck? I was leaning towards the Carvin mainly because it runs 4ohms.
 
The best buy would be IMO an Ampeg SVT 210 which lists for $299 new.................

The problem with the SVT 210 as I see it is power handling. The SVT 210AV only handles 200 watts, the SVT 210CL is only 100 (I'm not even sure you can get the CL cab separately).

I'm also looking at the Carvin BR210-8C. Since I live near the factory, I might go check it out with my head and bass.
