So what's the big rig???
I have the TTE500 also, and I've on the fence with it to be honest. It is great, but there is just a little something missing.

The TTE is a fine head which I've happily gigged for ages but I remember deciding once I got my car I was getting heavy transformers in metal boxes And after a few changes this is the rig!
Same cab as I'd use with the TTE (sorry the 212 is in its cover - it's a neo cab and is super light btw) but I do sometimes use a small fender 110 combo for super small gigs. The big rig sounds fantastic and it has power and headroom for days. It's 800W@4ohm and the cab seems to sound better with volume. I've used it in pubs and theatre gigs and it's been perfect.
On a side note.... I tend to lift correctly, only take what I can reasonably manage and try and keep myself relatively fit and healthy. I've done loads of manual handling courses with work, only lift when I need to and use a roller case for the 'rig'.
I normally only use one bass at a gig. My two main gigs suit each bass. The 5er on the choir gigs and the 4 string on the other pub gig.
