I think it's fine to keep the Revel's if they're an improvement. These businesses are not charities, and as much as we'd like them to earn our business, someone ought to eventually earn a profit. What would suck is if you bought something that was a step backwards (like my Polk Audio experience) or sideways.

I wouldn't worry too much about the bass if you can successfully blend it with a sub. I don't get a good experience if I can't crossover at 40 or 50 Hz at the AVR, so small bookshelf speakers that bottom out at 70-80 Hz don't work for my space.
