Speaker advice needed please - Greenbacks, Creambacks, Legends

What's Hot

Currently running my Laney LA30BL through a 4x12 with Eminence Governors, it sounds great but its a bit much to be lugging it around to band practise every week. Plus i've found with the Governors that they need to be pushed pretty hard to sound their best, even in a 1x12. 
I'm going to get a 1x12 cab to make things easier, and also so i can set up my gear easier at home, and i'm looking for a more 'classic' sound, i.e Greenback territory. 
Obviously Greenbacks are rated at 25w, so i'm guessing one of those is out of the question.  Things do get loud sometimes when we gig, its mostly Black Sabbath stuff these days so not sure how long a single Greenback would last!! 
I've seen the Creamback 65, and Eminence Legend GB128 - How do these compare to a Greenback? Any others i should consider? 

I could of course get a 2x12 with Greenbacks, but that's kinda defeating the 'down size' point to the whole thing....
Thanks for any advice!

    Creamback 65. It's like a slightly darker, tighter Greenback.

    That sounds interesting, i'm guessing it sounds the same as a regular Creamback but weighs less?

    People say they're somewhere in between the M65 and H75, which to me seems like a great compromise.

    I watched a johan segeborn video where he compaired a new greenback and WGS green beret to a vintage greenback. The WGS sounded closer in sound to the vintage offering.
    Edit: just noticed you need more handling power
