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.

Don't over think or stress out, slow down and take your time. You are about to invest a good chunk of change for some new speakers. There is no deadline that I'm aware of, so go back and listen again, and again. Take source material that you are very familiar with and listen.

When you feel confident that one sounds better TO YOU (don't listen to what the dealer says sounds better), buy it. However, be prepared for them to sound different when set up in your own room. Speaker/room interaction is one of, if not THE biggest variable in this hobby. Not to mention the fact that the dealer's gear is probably different from your gear.

Just slow your roll and take your time with this decision.
