Several points I want to give here.
1. Power does not = volume. Just the same as some 100W valve amps are louder than others - some SS power amps have different max vol to others with the same rating.
2. The volume to power ration is 1:10. This means you have to multilply the power by 10 to get twice the volume. The 560W Art is only twice as loud as a 50W solid state amp (all other things equal). To double the vol of the art you'd need 5.5k. The Carvin at 1500W would be roughly 1/5 sa loud again as the art. Its around 5db difference. If you can try the Carvin, jurn the master down by 5 db and thats roughly where the art will be.
3. Different Cabs give different volumes with the4 same power - dependant on the speakers sensitivity. More efficient speaker = more volume.
4. The Max Volume from a cab is dependant on the cab NOT the Amp. The higher the volume the more the speakers move. Too much movement and the speakers will rip themselves appart.
5. The voice coils on speakers will only handle s set ammount of current (as by assosiation watts). Too much and the voice coils will burn out.
The upshot of this is that while many people will run higher power amps for greater headroom - they wont drive them too hard to protect the speakers. The higher Watts is for control and clean power NOT volume. Personally I think the SLA bridged should be more than sufficient. If you actually need more power than that your cabs speakers are in serious danger. You obviously CAN drive your cab loud enough as you have done with your messa, but I think you over estimating how much power you'll actually need. If you get the bigger amp, be VERY carefull how high you run it.
The obvious solution here is to teach your drummer to play properly - ie controlled - and not loud, or give him some cotton wool for his sticks
