To Markbass or not to Markbass...?

I've been using a VanderKleij 112EXT to my LMIII which proved quite sufficient for most gigs. Just for flexibility I added a second 112EXT. It's a perfect lightweight solution for me.

Wow, thanks for the extra replies folks. I didn't get the notifications that they had even been left, so sorry for the late reply.... Lots to take in...

Bergantino is another brand I'd like to try, but the cost puts me off as they are rather hefty in price.... Part of my problem is I tend to enjoy the visual appeal of things, hence why 'woody' basses are of great appeal to me, as I tend to pick up and actually play basses more when they look good too (not sure if this sounds too ridiculous) but I think this carries through to amps and cabs too. Markbass appeals to me on that front, with the yellow black contrast, and Vanderkley certainly tick that box. Bergantino while quite simple, are very elegant, and I do like them visually. Even PJB appeal to me as they are unusual and oddball. BF just don't appeal to me aesthetically. 

As for the type of person I am, I am a guy who knows what he likes, and makes it work for me, but I also do love trying new gear and playing around with things. However the budgets I have now mean that really isn't an option to keep changing gear. I also found that with the Markbass head, I really haven;t felt the need to upgrade at all, the head  (and the 102 HF cab) have always done what I needed them to in every situation I've needed it. At the same time, I do feel like a visual change, even if it just gives me the same result tonally, though preferably at a more portable easier to manage size. I guess I am asking the almost impossible?

Thanks
