Is there a better sub than the Aerial SW12?

I've heard them both in mono and stereo and they are the most natual subs I've heard. They were paired with Aerial LR5's and CC5b. I wonder how they stack up against the new Thiel and the existing Revel subs. Also, are there any subs below their price range that come close?

I was very impressed with the Thiel SW1 in the dealer showroom, but my room has major "bass-suck" issues. Both the dealer and Shari from Thiel suggested that I might want to consider something in the Velodyne DD series (for my room, that is), and I somewhat reluctantly auditioned a DD-12. I was blown away. I know have a DD-12 in my system (Thiel CS3.6 mains), and it has amazed me. The hype in the Stereophile review is well-earned. For just over $2k, the DD-12 is a bargain, in my book.

Still, if I had the space and the necessary WAF for the big Genelec...
