So, Scott, what you really want is a ported VP100. I agree with John's assessment.

FWIW, I had been using a regular VP100 as a center for a long time and I replaced it with a vertical M2, which I like a little better. It seems a little clearer and it plays a little deeper. Since I don't need the horizontal form-factor or high output, it works well for me.
