Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?

I've listened to both, and each has its pluses and minuses. Unfortunately, I can't listen to them side by side as they are at different dealers.  :-( 
I listen to a lot of classic rock and I'm not sure the Focals are up for the challenge. The Refs sound a bit fuller (to my ears) and I think adapt better to rock music....especially with the built in subs. 
Obviosly the Focal are GORGEOUS and sound incredible...but for $5k ish more?

Im looking to buy one or the other in the next 30 days. Any advise or input would be helpful.

Thx

Spend the $5k more and don't look back.  You know they sound "incredible".  Why settle for less wishing every day you got the Sopras?

By the way, if you like the Sopras you should listen to the Personas.  I brought both home for a side by side audition.  They are very similar in timbre, but I liked the detail of the Personas.
