I have had the B&W 802's in my home for audition, but I prefer the sound of Aerial. I purchased the 10t for my audio only system 5 years ago and could not be more happy. For my second system used for home theatre and music I went with the Aerial 7 with a single 5 for the center. I don't think you can go wrong with Aerial and it's a great company to deal with. However, either would be a good choice and only your ears will know for sure.
