Someone needs to talk me back from the edge here because I'm about to spend my last on this and be damned with the consequences.

Having owned the whole range I'd steer clear and at £350 you'll be paying over the odds.
The average they go for secondhand is now £250- 300 max
The bottom has well and truly fallen out of the Cornford market. With carreas fetching £400-450 now and MK50 MK 1 worth little more than £750
Do you dislike v30's in general or just in this amp?
It's taken me years to get used to v30's
The bulk of the tone 'problem' (by my taste) is in the amp circuit, but using a speaker which has the same sort of limitations and is one of the few which does sound stiff and grainy until it's given a bit more power just makes it worse.
If you like the amp itself, try something like a G12H-30 or a Greenback. If you can get the original speaker out, that is

Most of the time I stick my Mk50ii through the open backed 1x12 made for the hurricane. It is a pain in the arse in the house by itself but it cuts very well in a band. Especially with other instruments. I think it would be different if I were the only guitarist/keyboard player/horn section/whatever and had to fill up more space
I love these for a Marshally type of tone for not much money
