From the look of that puppy, I'd say the 180. Be aware the 180 is HUGE. Very wide, and very, very deep.
As for the size, the Center Channel that is in the lead right now, Paradigm's Studio CC-690, is 10" x 37-1/4" x 16-1/2" and 70 lbs. I pulled up the VP 180's measurements and they are pretty comparable at 9.25" x 39.5" x 17" and it is noticeably lighter at 56.8 lbs. It will just monopolize the shelf under the TV for now.
I saw that the stand for the VP 180 is $245.00 USD, which seems like a lot for a $720 speaker, so I will have to play around with that.
