Std. = shitty sound, superior construction.
Trad. = shittier sound, superior construction.
Get a splawn or Bogner cab.

They are solid, well built cabs that you may or may not like tonewise so I would try one out first if you can.
I have a fully sealed Roadking 4x12, Roadking 2x12 and Recto 2x12 and they all sound good and tight for me.
The 2x12 cabs especially are quite compact and throw out great bass response for their size while still being plenty tight IMO.

What is the difference between the Tradtional Recto cab and the Bogner or Splawn? The Bogner has V30s right (not sure about the Splawn) unless you go for the uber kab?
I really like my Traditional Recto 4x12...I also have a 1960A and it seems like it weighs half as much as the recto cab.

Every one of my amps sounds good through the recto, including my Triple Recto. I've never used another cab besied a Marshall, so I really wonder if I'm missing something.

The oversized cabs seem to get alot of bad press on the various internet forums, I don't think they are really all that bad IMO, even with Recto's.

Lots of cabs have V30's, but that doesn't mean they all sound the same. I've owned 3 different brands of cabs with V30's and each one sounded different. My Marshall 1960AV didn't sound nearly as huge as my Bogner, or even my Randall XL cab. The Mesa cabs are really nice, but the Bogner cabs sound better to me. Never played a Splawn, but the quality on those seems awesome too.
