G12K could be an interesting choice...
What I cant really make my mind up on is do I just swap out the speaker in the amp, or do that and put a nice 112 underneath it too..
The G12k would certainly be nice in a 112 cab alone, could even use that with my JCM900 head If I was feeling that way out!
One thing I do want to avoid is a harsh sounding amp... Certainly sounds warm enough with the stock Seventy80 (which i'm not too fond of for the record...), but its lacking some real bollocks in the low end!
In a perfect world I'd like an EVM12l but I don't think I could stump up the coin for one of those wee beasts

I think I must just have more tolerance for weight . I'm clearly crazy since I don't regard a Mesa Trem-o-verb with two V30s as obscenely heavy! Although oddly, a MkIV with an EV - which is probably slightly lighter overall - does seem so, because it's half the size.

If you want to save weight then the Vintage Century is worth a look.
I don't think you've said whether you are going open back or closed back with the cab. That will make a difference.
V30 isn't so bad in a closed back cab but it's still not my favourite speaker.

Alternatively get a decent joiner to build you one? http://hf-antenna.com/Flotsam/EV/ElectroVoice_TL806.pdf

Thiele 112 is tempting! Would still be interested to hear some other speakers in the blackstar though. I don't think a v30 would be wise, but my speaker knowledge isn't that great so I'm a at a bit of a loose end for what to try!

I've owned quite a few Celestions at various points. Here's my take:
Greenback is warm sounding, but farts out in the low end if you drive it hard - especially in an open backed cab. Low end is bit tighter in a closed back cab. It is a good sounding speaker.
V30 has a lot of high mids and sounds very cutting. I think it is harsh, but some people like it. It can be tamed a bit in a closed back cab which seems to beef up the low end a bit and make it sound a bit more rounded.
G12T-75 is quite scooped in the mids. Due to the lack of mids it can sound toppy and harsh with the wrong amp, but it's not bad.
G12H-30 is a good speaker. Solid low end and enough top end detail without sounding too harsh.
G12H-65 is a good allrounder. Somewhere between the Greenback and the G12T-75/ V30. Doesn't flub out like the Greenback but doesn't have the harshness the others can exhibit.
Vintage Century - probably similar to the V30 but without the harsh upper mids. Good top end detail, not as much low end as something like a G12H. Nice and light as well.
