Considering switch from DT 50 2X12 to pair of Tech 21 PE 60s

I would like as much feedback as possible on this. I am running a POD HD 500 into a DT 50 2X12, with a Dr Z Airbrake.

It sounds pretty good, and I'm sure with more tweaking, it can sound even better. I just got the amp back from the shop

after having the power transformer replaced (unfortunately out of warranty).

 

I was already a little tired of the weight factor of moving the combo around whenever I play, and since having to spend

over $200 (plus gas to drive 170 miles round trip) to the service center nearest me, I'm considering switching form the

DT to a pair of Tech 21 PE 60s, which would be lighter and allow for a stereo setup.

 

I would love to hear as many pros and cons for both options (switching or keeping the DT)

    While i cant comment on the DT 50, I can tell you i own 2 Tech 21 Power Engine 60s. They sound GREAT, maybe not quite full FRFR but pretty close. They are also light and i mean LIGHT. i can carry them from rehearsal to gigs no problem. They are open back which may or may not be a problem (depending on what you play for music). I modded both of mine to close backed. cost about 25 bucks and took 15 minutes.

     

    What kind of music do you play?
