Subject:Seeking powered speaker recommendation

Hi,
To lighten the load and speed up set up time I stopped carrying a Barbetta 41C and have been going straight to the board, relying on stage monitors. I'm not thrilled with this but rather than going back to the amp I was considering a stereo set up using two small powered monitors. My set up would be XK1 > Mackie mixer > Monitor/DI and Yamaha P85 > Mackie mixer > Monitor/DI (eliminating my Speakeasy preamp since it's mono). For size and weight the JBL Eon 510s seem ideal but the Mackie 350 v2 monitors also could work. Based on past posts and in store listening (recorded music not the keyboards) I'm not certain which one would be the better choice sonically (if either) or maybe I should stick with the Barbetta. If anyone has already gone down this road I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Jay
