Mix and match subs?

I have a Paradigm x10 sub and am planning on adding a second sub. 
Would integration be difficult if I a) got a 10 inch sub from another brand (thinking SF Gravis III to pair with my SF speakers); or b) the x12 from Paradigm (for getting even deeper).

Or c) should I just keep all the same and get another x10?

Thanks all for the helpful input—okay SF Sub is scratched off the list. My use will be 2-channel music only and I do love deep bass. My room is 16x18 with vaulted ceilings (family living room so treatment is not an option).
I have certainly looked at SVS and been intrigued by their subs and like the home trial option.

I ended up with the Paradigm because of a good deal through a local dealer and have been impressed with its performance. It has room correction and an app to control all settings which is really nice.

So sticking with Paradigm seems like a good plan. 
Then the question becomes should I go with the x12 to get the extra extension, or a second x10 for easier integration as many of you have suggested?

So 2 subs is definitely my max. Seems like there are differing opinions on to pair or mix and match. Seems to me a Paradigm x10 and x12 might work pretty well together. I would think in the frequencies where they overlap that they would blend well and the the x12 would take me down to 20hz. 
Or in the shared frequencies, would they not blend too well because they are different drivers?

Has anyone mixed subs with two driver sizes and had a bad result?
