I've got the rare chance of buying a Laney TT412A cab locally, to match my TT50 head. They don't come up very often, especially within an hour's drive, and I'm tempted to buy it.
At £200 it's more than I'd like to pay for a Laney cab, but it is in top condition, built from ply, has 4 V30s factory fitted and is designed to match the TT heads. Still cheaper than 1960s seem to be available for at the moment, which wouldn't match the Laney and thereby a problem for the OCD in me!
The other option is to buy two V30 loaded Harley Benton 2x12s from Thomann, for around £300 all in delivered. The 2x12s would be more convenient and allow a modular option so I can use both or just one depending on the gig. Two together still won't give me the same oomph at the 4x12 though, right?

Laney...
4x12 always sounds better than 2x12's...bigger box and more air moved...also...you could even sell 2 of v30 and mix another type of speaker in an X pattern.
Thanks gents, you've helped make my mind up.
I was favouring the Laney, and will collect it on Saturday. I already have a H&K Statesman 2x12 cab, Eminence loaded, that I can use with the TT50 head if I prefer, so best of all worlds hopefully!

My bandmate picked up his 1960A for £130, used it for a year, then sold it for £210 within a week of listing.
I want to buy another Mesa 2x12 but I haven't had any luck recently. They're all 5-6hours round trip away and I want to avoid that really. There was one locally recently but I got beaten to it by someone else!
It's also affected to some extent by the total number of speakers in the cab, even if the volume per speaker is the same, since the speakers interact with each other.
