eminence manowars vs. celestion v30's

I have a marshall 1960a with g12t-75's and i want more mids and punch. I'm going to be replacing 2 of them with something new.
What are people's opinions on manowars and v30's? Any body have any other speaker suggestions?
I'm playing some metal, some hardcore, lots of stoner rock, some blues... i just really want more mids and more roar to my amp instead of the fizz i get from the g12t-75's.

Manowars are essentially clones of 75's, so you wouldnt want those. More mids? V30's all the way, they work great with 75's.

The Governor is more like a vintage 30 than the Man O War.

I have a cab full of Man O Wars and they sound nothing like 75's to my ears. Definately british voiced with a pretty well rounded sound and a good midrange that's bright, but magically easy on the ears.

They're all good, just different. All my cabs currently have Eminence speakers if that hints at what I preffer.

Can't say I've tried Eminence but whenever I try V30's they always bring out the best in the amps I play through. I haven't really tried them at gigging levels too much but for bedroom/recording levels they sound really full and punchy.
