I think that is probably the main reason, closed back is way less dependant on variables!
I do like open back cabs better if it all works with room placement etc............and I'm pretty sure everyone already knew you love "that tight bottom end"

Did a quick iPhone demo of the difference.

And sorry for the lack of Blues noodling or shred wankery as you might expect from a YouTube demo, Hopefully you can still hear the differences despite this.
