.... and after hearing the m80's I knew I would never be satisified if I purchased the m60's
Or possibly, you would have been shocked that you could get almost the same performance for a little less and in certain cases not need to upgrade your receiver
All kidding aside, either speaker should make you really happy but if you are already concerned about upgrading to the 80 then it will just fester and bother you....everyday. As for the extra power the 80 can handle, in all reality unless you have a very large area and tons and tons of power the 60's will serve you just fine.
I debated 60 vs. 80 and was lucky enough to be at Axiom to demo speakers and the creator himself told me to go with 60's with no concerns. I actually prefer the looks of the 60's better so the upgrading bug never really bugged me. I actually traded in my system not to long ago and upgraded to the High Gloss Cherry BUT I got 60's again when I could have moved to the 80's if I wanted to...good luck.
