ls 50 metas compared to floorstanding speakers

hi - I am relatively new to hifi and in the process of upgrading to my first nice system - originally, I had decided to go with LS 50 Metas due to the raving reviews and the nice look - however, as I started to do some research I found that there are a lot of options in the Metas' range - even some floorstanding speakers - I really dig the Focal Chora 826 which also have great reviews and are actually cheaper than the KEFs - that smells a bit weird don't it? $1350-1500 for bookshelf KEFs vs. 1k for a nice pair of 3 driver flloorstanding speakers? are KEFs really that much better?

When drivers are physically further apart you need to sit further away for best results in regards to overall coherence, detail, soundstage and imaging.

So yes what will work and thereby  likely sound better largely depends on the individual “use case” as mentioned above.
