How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD

Looking for some advice as to how to determine how much faster one sub is from another. I’m not sure how to determine this just by reading the specs and could use some help in educating me with this.

Currently I have the SVS and sounds good but feel after all my adjustments and crawls, just can’t get the slap on some of the bass I desire. Everything I’ve seen about the T5X is it’s one of the fastest subs out there and blends well with Maggi’s 

Main speakers: Magnepan .7’s

Sub: SB-12NSD

Rogue RP-1 Preamp

Carver Crimson 275 Amp (Yea,I know about the test’s and read all the posts about it, it sounds good, so please don’t hijack this post with comments regarding the amp.)

I’m really tempted to take advantage of the REL Home Trial, but hope I can get some assistance first so can make an educated decision.

Thanks

I just purchased a pair of REL T5x and like @Pooch2, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to set up and dial in.. The REL’s work wonderfully with either my upgraded/modded MMG’s or Sonus Faber monitors. Integration with either the little Maggies or the SF’s is seamless. I’ve had a number of subs before these, including REL T5, but the T5x’s are by far the best in my experience.

I followed REL's setup suggestions closely and am thrilled with the results.  

Sure, this is just one guy’s experience, but I do hope it helps some of you other guys and gals.
