In general, don't put speakers designed for horizontal dispersion vertical, or vertical dispersion horizontal.

VP100 will work fine if you're only a couple of feet from center. I would use either a VP150 or vertical M2 if seating is wider.

OK, thanks for all the help guy's  I've narrowed it down to either the VP150 or the VP100 paired with the M22...

Either one of those works very well, I have both and paired them with my M22's bookshelfs, not alot of difference, the 150 will play louder and deep male voices play a little more naturally, but I only noticed this during some A/B testing, my wife didn't think there was any difference so YMMV.

I haven't really noticed any unusual dispersion problems with the VP100. We're about 10 feet away, and I think it presents a darn fine soundstage to all the positions on the couch.

I notice a big dispersion problem with the VP100 when I move from sitting head on to sitting in an easy chair off to the side. Distance about 7 to 8 feet, 25 to 30 degrees.

I used a VP100 for a long time and thought it was a great center and like Tom I didn't notice any unusual dispersion issues either, we were approximately 12 feet away.
