Home theater center channel decision to make.

I intend to add home theater to my present two channel system. My front left and right speakers are Vienna Acoustics Mahlers. My question is can I use the VA Maestro center channel MSRP $1300 or do I have to use the Oratorio MSRP $3000? Is the extra expense worth it?

For the left and right rears I intend to use the VA Waltz wall mounted speakers. I'm going to put a 5.1 system together.
I intend to keep my two channel listening absolutely seperate and not go through a processor. I listen to two channel music 75% and home theater 25%.

System components:
CD Player, Meridian 588
Preamp, Jeff Rowland synergy 2i
Poweramp, Classe CAM 350 monoblocks
Speakers, VA Mahlers
DVD Player, Sony DSP9000ES
Piano DLP Projector
Daylite 7' front screen

Did you end up gettting the oratorio or stay with the Maestro?

I have a pair of the VA Mahlers for the front and waltzs for the surrounds and a Maestro for the center. I have been wanting to get a Oratorio center, but not quite certain if it is worth it.

I am using Mcintosh MC-207 amp and MX-119 pre along with a Denon 3910.
