I have an original 122 and it's great. It weighs a ton so I never want to take it anywhere, but it's great. Picked up this because I figured I'd be able to move it to gigs. It's infinitely more moveable, but it's significantly quieter (so it needs go through the PA even at smaller gigs) and the noise that comes off it when it's in fast is a lot. Like a LOT of wind noise that my bigger, 60+ year old speaker doesn't suffer from.
