Um, trick question?  Most people read all the forums, so you probably don't need to post the same question multiple times. If placement is not an issue, put 3 M80's across the front.

Agreed, If had enough space, I would have an acoustic transparent screen and 3 M80s across the front...

Money not an issue as long as they are axiom speakers...I had that one coming. Center channel designed speakers only.

Well, it depends how particular you are. There are lots of us who are more than happy with the 100 & 150. Then there are some who are not happy at all. I'm assuming that since you typed IMPAIRITIVE in capitals, you will be in the later camp.
Since this is the case, and you have no issues on placement or money - buy 3 identical speakers across the front.

I think I'm developing an addiction.

Given your initial post, and clarifications... For a room that size as a dedicated theater, I'd go with M80s and a VP150, an EP500 or EP600, and QS8s to round it out. If you have got plenty of room behind you, or more than 1 row of seats, then go with 4 QS8s. M60s would be fine too- but with money not a factor why would you want anything else?

I'm going to underscore Shawn's point, just for kicks.
Given what you've said here and in other threads, I think that "Seamless" and "Center Channel-designed speakers" are going to seem mutually exclusive to you.
The only way to ensure that you're not frustrated by trying to match them is by getting three identical speakers. That way, you KNOW that the only reason why you might not get a seamless soundstage is because of your room.
Unless you remove all the other factors, you're going to wonder.
