Cab for 5150?

I know this has been asked many times before, but I wanted to ask more for my specific situation. So I've got a 5150 head and I need to buy a new 4x12 cab cuz for now I'm running it through a shit Crate Cab. I've asked several people, and most of them have said that nothing, goes better with the 5150 head than the matching cab. I'm searching for an In Flames type tone, and I need something that can handle the low end, and the nice grindy midrange. So I'm wondering if I should keep searching for a 5150 cab used, or go for like a 1960, or any other.

Well that's the thing, obviously nothing wrong w/ either the 1960 or the BV30, but I've heard from so many 5150 owners, that the 5150 cab is built perfectly for it (I mean it would make sense....duh). I've heard from them that the low end and the gain is more tighter and defined w/ that cab. I mean, hell I could probably score a used 1960 more easily, I need a cab that'll be able to handle the perfect Swedish Melo-Death tone, you know, like In Flames, The Haunted, Arch Enemy, etc......and then maybe some more diff. tones to but, that's good enough for now.

I put v30s into my 5150 combo and I love the sound about 1000x more than with the stock speakers.
