Lee if you can afford the return shipping you might be best served by ordering both M80s and M22s and comparing them yourself. I believe Axiom estimates return shipping to be about 30 USD for 2 bookshelves and 60 USD for 2 towers. Call and they can tell you for sure. I tried this and ended up keeping both though.
Also as Fred says there is a fine line between the M80+sub and M22+sub and we are really not that far apart on how we feel about them. Had we heard them in the same room with the same music I could likely have drawn the same conclusions as Fred, I think the differences are that subtle.
Till upgradeitis hits and then you would be buying the M80s anyway. The M22s are still worth the initial purchase just to be used in other rooms of the house.
The what if factor is in the end why I bought the M80 since I had the money and didn’t want to revisit my speaker purchase later.
