Anyone experienced with the new Soldano 4x12s?

Are they any good? I need a good 4x12 this year. I have only my Cornford, which I like, but don’t feel is the best match for my Deliverance 120.

Saw a Soldano for good price. Or should I just wait for one of the cabs I was planning on, Mesa OS slanted, Fryette (any type) or Bogner Uber?

Other head in rotation currently will be 1980 Marshall JMP 2203.

They’re just generic BAD cabs rebadged with a different logo than any of the other cabs they offer. Bogner cabs, Friedman cabs, soldano cabs, all BAD manufactured.
I was more going on the dimensions and sound specifically on the Soldano cab. I read they are no longer front loaded and are deeper and have v30s. I’m sure it sounds decent enough.
 
I have one and also had old frontloaded one with V30s. Great sounding cab, very midforward and great under a mic. Not as flubby as rectifier or other flap-pant cabs.
New one is rearloaded and sound little looser bit still good. Compact size is good for moving around. Still much better than Marshall cabs.
Here are guts.

BAD makes the various branded cabs to different specs. Also they don't make Bogner cabs—they're only involved with Bogner pedals.

Soldano cabs were always the standard 14" deep. The Seattle ones were 28"Wx28"H and front loaded. Current production are still the same dimensions, just rear loaded.

Interesting on Bogner. I've seen them mentioned as being built by BAD so many times. Good to get facts.

I have one of the older Front loaded Soldano cabs that I use as my main cabinet. Loaded with V30s. Very tight sounding cabinet, very forward sounding as well. Love the size. Smaller than a 412 but not much bigger than a vertical 212.

I need to see one in real life. Suprising to hear they are so small. Can't tell when you just see a picture of one on the Internet.

Thanks for the input man.
