If you are serious about no sub, I would go directly to the M80. For a lot of my music, the M80s cover all the bass very well (noticably better than the M60). For synth and pipe organ, my sub extends right down to 20Hz making a noticable difference.
I believe that Alan has mentioned in the past that for high bit rate MP3s you cannot tell the differnce between them and lossless so the 320k stuff should be just fine. Edit: I see Alan already replied.
Since you are relatively close to Axiom, I would consider having both the 60s and 80s shipped to you and returning the 'looser' (not that either is anything less than superb.
I agree about the trip to Axiom. I did it in March just after a snowstorm on a sunny winter day. Between the fresh snow on the trees and the mist rising from the lakes it was beautiful!
