I just spent £750 on a JBL Eon One for our duo, though it's doubling as the vocal PA in our five piece.
Having started gigging with it I'd never go back to conventional cabs tbh, it just sounds fantastic and you can hear it absolutely everywhere, no need for any monitoring at all.
It just refuses to feedback too, it's solved every small venue problem I ever had.
Is it reasonable to say that (within limits) you never go wrong if you buy the biggest?
Despite the fashion of the last 20+ years, single cabs with 15s are a bad idea. If you need more bass than you can get with 10s or 12s, you need a separate sub bass bin and not 15s in the main cabs.

I wouldn't touch the Alto TX range TBH. Their TS range are decent value for money I guess. dB Technologies is another good budget brand (they are linked to RCF). At that price point don't expect decent amp modules or drivers.
Have you considered just running a single speaker mono and then get another one as soon as funds allow. Really big difference between a £200 and £400 active speaker.
That gets you into the likes of the Yamaha DXR10 or RCF Art 710A. These have pretty solid amp amount modules and drivers. Used within their limits, they are very goid and crazy value for money in real terms.
