Thanks for the replies, although I'm a bit lost now...
I've been mulling over this- I wonder if I would be better off putting the extra money into a bigger sub (ie. DSP 500) instead of more money into the M80's. The M60-500 package looks pretty sweet to me at this point.
Decisions, decisions...

Either choice will be an excellent setup, you can't lose.

Decisions, decisions... If you plan on crossing over the subwoofer to take up the low end, then you won't need the M80s for that aspect. If you don't have a humongous room, then you won't need the larger cabinet of the M80s for that either. If you prefer more bass overall and want to tweak that volume in the low end, a separate sub has more flexibility in this regard. If you are more a movie watcher vs. music, the subwoofer is better equipped for those big explosions. In such a case, the M60-500 setup would make sense. Otherwise, if those other reasons could apply, then consider more the M80s.

To me there is enough of a difference between the 2 that I would suggest purchasing both the M80s and M60s and send the ones you don't like back, then build the rest of the system around those 2.

I did it, I bought the M60-500 HT package, with the in-cabinet version of the M60's. I went with the regular center channel, so I can be a bit more flexible with placement.
I'm pumped. Ordered my Onkyo 3007 from Newegg today. With any luck they'll both arive this week!
Thanks again to Jollo for the audition.
