Bookshelf or Floor standing for ~$900

Looking to get some new speakers and am wondering how my money would be best spent. I will say that I always buy used/demo as I view audio value similar to automobile value. Take it out off the lot or out of the store and its losing a lot of value. 

My room is roughly 14x24ft and the speakers will be along the longer side. 

I've been eyeing some Monitor Audio Silver 100s for $750 as well as some Martin Logan Motion 20s for $950. 

Will two 5in drivers be better than a single 8in? Are there other options you would recommend? more generally (as the title suggests) should I be looking at bookshelf or floor standing speakers in this price range?

I listen to mostly alternative and electronic music. Artists like Alt-J, Tame Impala, Glass Animals, Flume

I'm looking for clarity in the highs and a full, dynamic sound. I have a pair of Quad S-2s right now that I really enjoy. The ribbon tweeter does a great job with the highs and the sound is great but I'm interested in something more lively for a second system. 

Would be pairing it with a CXA61 or moving that to the Quads and using a Vena II.
