Thanks.
Definitely not talking about Barefaced or any other high end rig. I have one of the Warwick cabs and it's brother/sister is still at GC. Went yesterday to look it over but just couldn't pull the trigger. They weren't interested in dickering. I want to.....just need to convince myself that I need it.

Think I might see if I can flip those grills if the flip side is finished (or at least black).........
If I go vertical I can see I'll need something for the head to sit on because it barely fits. One or two notes and it'll be on the floor........

If you flip them a further ninety degrees you could open a Hamburger joint!! 
You have feet on the side of your head. Put it Vertical on the floor next to cab. Enjoy.
If you do not like it on the floor get a small table to raise it up.
At home? I don't see the problem. Teenage idiot in the house? Earthquake zone? Really crappy flooring? It would normally take a deliberate shove to push it over.
It probably doesn't have any feet on the cab ends, damn accountants. Feet will take care of it unless you play on stacked pallets or riotous gigs with stage invaders or lead vox climbing and leaping. Or you don't trust yourself not to stumble into it.
Some who do deal with those situations go to the trouble of strapping the cabs onto a plate or dolly. Such are the benefits to the vertical orientation, it's well worth looking at sideways W's and a muffin top stack.
I use rack cases with my amplifiers in them. I have yet to have one move let alone fall off.
Not overly concerned with the W's but if all I need do is flip the grill I'll probably do it. Vertically it's a fancy "E" anyway.....lol.....

No No No...We'll soon find out!
Like this. End on end. It makes a huge difference. The horizontal dispersion of the low-mids, mids, and highs will make it so the whole room hears what you hear on stage. The other way, not so much....

Forget the cosmetics! Be unafraid to just do what works musically.
Who leaves a bar or gig saying "Jeez, that bass player's rig had really nice grill logo alignment/suppression?"
Yeah, no one. Ever.
Just play and sound good. That is all.
That really is all.
Anyone in the room who cares what your gear looks like isn't focused on the important stuff.
