Randall Warhead 4x12 vs. Framus Dragon/Cobra 4x12?

[MetalHeadMat]

Hi, all! My cab blew up a few months back, and seeing how I'm going on tour in a few weeks, I think it's time to buy a new one, (as well as a seven string, but that's a different topic).

My head is a Line 6 HD100 Spidervalve. It's the one with the Bogner designed good stuff, rad onboard Line 6 effects, etc. It can run One 16 ohm, two 8 ohm, or two 4 ohm cabs. I plan on keeping the head for a while, but I'm not thinking of getting the Line 6 cab as I do plan on upgrading to either a Mesa, a Framus Cobra, or something else. I play in a death metal band, and as previously mentiond we use seven strings tuned to A#. The other guitar player has a Peavey 6505+ with a Vader 4x12.

I've kiiiind of narrowed my choices down to the Randall Warhead, the Framus Dragon, the Framus Cobra, or maaaaybe an old 90's Mesa. I need a 4x12, and I really enjoyed hearing my amp run through a 16 ohm cab in the past. I've used a Warhead and it sounded amazing from what I remember, (I was really drunk and later broke a bus stop shelter, long story), but I really like the specs of the Framus Dragon.

I'd love to hear others opinions on this matter, as it would definitely narrow the search down. Thanks again in advance!

THe Framus Cobra cab is extremely punchy and tight. It has Greenbacks, which give it a unique character. Not like an old Marshall cab with GB's though, there is nothing vintage sounding about the Cobra cab. They are very difficult to find though, so if you need something now that cab is probably off the table.
