I don't have any "new" opinion, but generally agree with what others - especially Jakewash - said.
Get the M22's.
I'd get the sub before the surrounds if you have to choose.
I think the VP100 is plenty.
I don't know what you're spending on the receiver. Check refurbs at
http://www.shoponkyo.com. They have the TX-SR707 and TX-SR806 for $599 at the moment and I don't think you pay either tax or shipping. Satisfied customer.
Dr. Hsu helped design the initial Outlaw subs, but I don't know if that collaboration continued into the new lines. Consider the Hsu STF-2 ($349!) or VTF-2 also. I wouldn't hesitate to get a sub from Elemental Designs; they are developing an excellent reputation, and have been continuously upgrading their products and processes.
Enjoy the journey!
