Are two pc112s as loud as one pc212?

So I’m a helix user. Really want a powercab+. The 212 is what I’d need for stage, but I can only afford one 112 right now. I’m wondering if getting a second 112 down the road and pairing them on stage would increase the volume in the same way as getting the 212?

See the spect at https://line6.com/powercab/. 212 produces 131dB while 112 produces 125. Two 112's would probably be about the same loudness as a 212 as the configuration of speaker area and power would be the same. The differences would be:

• Two 112s would be more flexible: you could position them differently or use only one in tighter situations, or use one to backup the other
• The 212 is about 11 lbs heavier than a single 112. With two 112s, your could at least carry one at a time
• The 212 uses Neodymium magnets to keep the weight down

If you typically play in larger venues, or need to play pretty loud, the 212 might be a better choice. But two 112s would be more flexible.
