School me on the Celestion Creamback Speaker(s)

I looked up some comparison videos online and it seems the Neo is a bit scooped and sounds like a very different speaker than the H75 and M65. The mids on the H75 and M65 really complement a V30 well IMO whereas the NeoCB seems to be bringing in some fizzle and boom and not much else. The other two fill out the mids that a V30 doesn’t have in a very satisfying way!
Sitting in front of the Neo and the M65 I don't hear that. They sound almost identical except the Neo is a little tighter/stiffer.
 
I have a 65 I've transplanted into a couple different combo amps. It's sitting in a Katana 100.2 and has been gigged a few times. I like it.

I also have a 2x12 with Greenbacks. In comparison I'd say the Creamback is more polite especially in the top end but comparing a 1x12 to a 2x12 isn't so straightforward
 
The sum of my experience with Creambacks is my Rivera Thirty Twelve combo. I have never been completely happy with a combo amp before. To me, they're always a major compromise. But this amp with this 65 watt Creamback is so good. It sounds so thick, middy, and creamy. In my experience, combos are usually mid heavy, but the mids always sound boxy and strident. I'm not sure how mush is the amp, and how much is the speaker, but I'd be interested to try this speaker with other combo amps to see what it does.

What kind of tones do you use it for?
 
I’m not sure that i like the Creambacks.

If you decide to get rid of them, let me know how much you want for them, I have a cab I would like to put Creambacks in. Right now it's a 412 with G12T-75's but I want to put 2 creambacks in with 2 of the G12T's.

Where are you located. I’ll get a shipping price.
