I think the point about SPL is that plenty of speakers can only handle about 25% of the rated power in the lows before they run out of excursion. That means the tone you'll get at shop/bedroom volumes can be very different to the tone you'll get when you turn up the wick.

I just use a single Schroeder 1212L (4 ohm) cab now with my LMII rather than the 2 Ashdown ABM 2x10s I previously had. Very loud, very nice, very light and fits nicely in the back of the car.

Exactly! Getting good tone at low SPL is easy - keeping that good tone at high SPL is a different matter.

For me, tone comes first, then SPL, then size/weight.
