The 2240, 2241 and 2242 drivers are certainly nice too. As you've noticed, they trade extension for SPL. But unless you exceed xmax of the 2245, there are no problems with it that I've encountered, and I've pushed 'em pretty hard. You can exceed the mechanical limits of any driver, but as I recall, you're running tube amps and I don't think you'll have excursion problems with them. Maybe the 2245's you've had were damaged?
