I faceed the same problem as you did. I eventually went with the Ref 110.
I talked to several ppl who heard both and they all seem to prefere the 110 by small marigin.
Here what one famous british reviewer wrote to me in an email:
"Big question, <----- 110 vs 210
If you want more slam and scale the 210 does it ultimately a bit better, at a cost!
The 110 is a bit more subtle, coherent and focused , partly because it is one box, common channel grounding, but less bass slam.
2x 210 will be hot, make no mistake, lots of standing power.
Hard choice !"
Personally, I have not heard them side by side, but a close friend of mine owns 210s, so I'm somehow familiar with them, and I think that the above statement is correct.
Hope this helps.
