Upgrade Advice

I've got a Hartke 3500 into a GK Backline 2x10 right now. My tax return is coming and I'm looking at around $800 and would perhaps throw in some extra cash as well. I'd like to upgrade this diddy, what do you guys suggest I change?

my thoughts were to add a second cab to get all the juice out of my amp, probably an avatar 2x12 or 1x15.
 
The Hartke is a pretty good head so if I were you I'd get a 212,either an Avatar or a DR Bass.The Avatar you could get right away,the DR Bass 212 would take longer to get but is a step up from the Avatar in sound and build.Both are good cabinets though and would work with your setup as long as you get 8 ohm cabinets.Dr Bass has a new 310 cabinet out that really looks cool too,you could get one of those for under $400.Add one of these to your rig and then see if anything else is lacking in your rig.
