That older one does looks cooler, but did it have a v30? Otherwise damn this thread was a waste of time
I think they've just bunged a nice speaker into their cheapest cab on this new one, hence the kind of dodgy looks. But for a small and lightweight cab it's a pretty nice deal. Plus you can also sell the speaker on if you want something different so you'd have only spent something silly like £20 on a speaker enclosure.
