I would prefer the widest sound presence with the 77" tv. The extra drivers and cabinet size will do that and the placement of those extra drivers should help with the left/right pull i have do to distance limitations with seating.

Maybe, maybe not. You'd have to try both. The 160v4 is more linear on axis than the 180v4. With the 160, at 10 to 14 feet away, I can sit 30 degrees off axis with no appreciable difference. 15 more degrees and I can definitely hear an appreciable difference although I would not object.
