Good points, Richard. The compression driver I'm using for the latest lightweight version is not ultra-efficient and doesn't therefore have a huge amount of padding. The system measures 98dB at 1 metre throughout the midrange, which is slightly better than most, with a tweeter of about 104dB sensitivity.
I'm not a big fan of adding cabs willy-nilly - even if they contain identical drivers, because you get cancellation and combing in the midrange, which varies depending on where you are standing. My preferred solution for a second cab would probably be just to roll the bottom cab off at about 500Hz with a passive crossover. That would double the power handling at lower frequencies (where it's needed) and change the sound balance somewhat. I'd need to experiment a bit with that.
One of the reasons for adding a second cab is to have a cab close to ear level so that you can hear yourself properly. That is definitely not necessary with this design. You can hear yourself perfectly clearly even when the cab's on the floor and you're standing right in front of it. I can't imagine needing two of these in a normal gigging environment either. One is certainly enough for me. But your mileage may vary, as they say.
