I have the 180 but if I had a choice to do it all over again, I think that I would likely take a serious look at the VP160.

To be serious about HT, then you would have at least 1 subwoofer in your setup. So getting that little bit extra of lower frequency from the VP180 is a bit of a moot point unless you have a high enough AV front end that can take advantage and set the cross over point low enough for the center. From what is out there, most systems will default the speaker to SMALL but even in large set the cross over to 80hz, so you can't take advantage of the lower end.
