Markbass Nano 300 & Traveler 102P Cab - 8 or 4 Ohm best?

[troubleshooter]

Hi all.
Yesterday I purchased a Markbass Nano 300 Head and the Markbass Traveler 102P cab in 8 ohm. I`m really on the fence about keeping the current 8 ohm cab or exchanging it for a 4 ohm one ( they did not have any 4 ohms in stock to compare anyway)
I`d like to keep the option open of adding an additional 8 ohm 15" ect. occasionally. I like having that option for the future, but..
The questions, will I sacrifice a lot of volume loss and character/clarity ect. in 8 ohm compared to 4 ohm in the cabs performance? (The head gives/takes 150w in 8 ohm, 300 in 4 ohm) .Will there be a huge difference in the Nano 300 head`s performance and undermining its full capability? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I upgraded from a Trace Elliot 300w gp7 with a 15" so I just upgraded from the middle ages..
Thanks so much in advance!

Short answer, no.

No.

A good plan there. You will get much more by using two 8 ohm cabs, than using your full power with only one 4ohm cab.

Thanks funkinbottom!

Speaker size is not directly related to how much bass response you'll get. You'd be better off matching speakers by adding a second 102P.
