I too am in the same boat as you.
I am trying to afford some Martin Logans and I have been doing a lot of reading. You could try posting your question at www.martinloganowners.com as well, they are really helpful.
My affordable dream speaker is (if I save for a really REALLY long time) an Aeon (i). From what I have read it is really were the ML starts coming together.
From what I have read the Mosaic is more dynamic than the Clarity while the Clarity has a bigger soundstage and a more intamate feel. But it is not until the Aeon that you get more dynamics as well as all the virtues of the ESL.
The Aeon is the also is the cheapest speaker in the ML line that supports an upgradedable power cord and bi-wiring. That says something to me - I would not want to go an lower down the line than the Aeon. Even though it is out of my price range for now.
You could also look on the used market. I constantly have an eye on it and if you are in the right location or are willing to ship it gives you some more options.
Cheerio,
Nick
