I have the powercab 112+ and I just got the regular powercab 112 today. The regular 112 sounds like it has way too much low end, and there is no way to fix it. The regular 112 does not have a USB out, so it can't be connected to a desktop. The 112+ is far more customizable, and to my ear, sounds so much better. I use a Quad Cortex as my modeler. IF you have the extra $200 I'd definitely recommend going with the 112+.
