I can get all three cabs for around the same price give or take $100, the framus is new and others are used. Aus dollars of course.

The framus weights 22 kg and the ENGL weigths 36kg, which is already what a marshall 412 weights
ENGL cabs are thicker than 'standard cabs', hence the weigth. They're built REALLY solid, whereas the framus is more of a classic built. I can't comment on the G-flex, since i've never seen one of those here in germany, but out of the first two, i'd take the ENGL or a long shot as far as controction quality and robustness goes. Which doesn't mean at all that the framus cab is poorly constructed or bad quality, i just think the ENGL cabs are way more solid.
As for the sound, well this is probably an even bigger and more important difference between these cabs. I personaly liked the dragon 4x12 better than the ENGL 4x12 (v30) for all amps that aren't ENGL. The ENGL v30 has a very pronounced midrange, which i think works well with the scooped ENGL voicing but may sound unbalanced with most other amps.
