Need some help. Rega RS5s over PSB Imagine Ts?

I recently sold my current speakers and was planning on buying the PSB Imagine Ts. When I went to demo them a 2nd time to make sure, the sales rep recommended I give the Rega RS5s a try. When I did an A/B comparison I was surprisingly more impressed with the Regas. I know a lot of it is based on personal preference but I'm pretty new to this and just wanted to make sure I won't regret my purchase. I can purchase them for pretty much the same price. My question is: has anyone out there compared these two and what ate your impressions? You think overall the Imagine Ts are a better value? Any help is appreciated. I tend to over think/analyze/ stress about these things. Thanks.

OK I am biased. I have REGA speakers and REGA kit.

I had TOTEM Arros and FORESTS and enjoyed them very much
Along came the REGA R9s and I had to have them ! Bought them and never looked back!

Had the REGA R1s in my B system .... superb.

REGA gets the midrange "right" like few other speakers can. Their bass is crisp and tight and never woolly. There is a reason why many NAIM owners have REGA speakers - look in Pink fish audio forum

check out the review of the R7s; they share many of the same drivers.
