1x12 Cabinet advice needed - sell/swap my Victory 1x12 Creamback cab for something else?

PhiltrePhiltre Frets: 4164
I have a Victory 1x12 cab, it's open back with a Creamback 65 (https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitar-amps/guitar-cabs/1x12-guitar-cabs/1x12-compact-cab-creamback-loaded)

I use it with a lunchbox head (Peavey Classic MH20) and there's nowt wrong with it...except when I want to use my Marshall Origin 20w head with it because it's physically not wide enough.

So I'm thinking of getting a physically wider cab that I can use with both the Peavey and the Marshall heads. As I already have an Orange 1x12 closed back with V30 I want an open back cab with a different speaker in it. Basically a wider version of the Victory cab.

Any recommendations that would work for both heads?

    How about a Mesa Widebody? Great cabs.

    Or for something different, how about a Matrix NL212? Light as a feather, enormous sound.

    Needs to be a 1x12 and reasonably priced (around £300 or so).

    What I was thinking of doing was if I sold the Victory cab, get a Zilla 1x12 Compact cab. Just not sure about going with a Creamback again.

    Montage do a wider 1x12" with a removable back panel. 40mm wider than the Origin going by the listed dimensions.

    Ooh, that's cheap and I'm liking the optional back panel.

    I just got a small Zilla 1x12" ported closed back cab with a  NEO speaker, sounds massive for its size and looks the business too.

    Nice. How does ported compare with open or closed back?

    tighter bass than open, less boomy than closed and.... sounds much bigger than a 2x12... to my ears.
