Vox AC15 - replacement cabinet, or other ways to lighten the load?

So I really, really like the tone of the Vox AC15, but the weight is a little much; I've got partially torn rotator cuffs, sometimes that amp weight is just a bit much. I'm trying to figure out ways to lighten it up, and swapping the actual amp over to, say, a pine cab was the first thing that popped into my head. Does anyone have any experience with this, or know a company that makes a replacement cabinet for a Vox AC15?

Alternately, if this idea is absolutely 100% asinine, any suggestions on Vox-voiced amps that I could pop for instead that are relatively lightweight?

Double NAD - handwired Princeton and a handwired Satellite!

I try not to accumulate too much stuff, and I'm a little wide eyed realizing how much I laid out on amps in the last few weeks.

Had this Princeton reissue and it was a bit noisy, so I took it to Judge Amps to have them give it a look over and do a hand wiring job on it; got it back and it is dead quiet, the tone has a little more depth to it, and I just trust that it's going to last me forever.

At the same time, a Satellite Scamp I had been watching on Reverb had a price drop, so I snatched it up before I could change my mind or it sold. Running it through an Egnater 112 and it is killer, great rock and roll tone all through the dials(all two of them).

I can't wait to run them together at a show next month(got a Pride festival this weekend but without a sound check I'm not complicating my day with two amps). Now I just need to find a carrying case for the Satellite since it doesn't have a handle!
