Onix Rocket UFW-12?

Does anyone here own this sub? I'm looking for a good sub to augment the bass in my 60-70% music/30-40% HT setup. My room is 21' D x 16' W with 12' ceilings and my current mains are KEF Reference Two's. I plan on upgrading the mains to most likely Legacy Signature III's soon. Is the Rocket sub easy to setup? How helpful and easy to use is the R-DES EQ unit? The UFW-12 looks like a heck of a deal @ $1099 including the R-DES. The great looking build and rosewood finish will help with the WAF as well. Other subs I'm considering in the $1kish range are:
-HSU VTF-3HO (or MKII)
-Vandersteen 2WQ (or 2W)
-REL (various depending on a which good used deal I can find)

Thanks for any input.

Have to agree with OZ on the UFW-10... Bought one for my dad and he is quite happy with it. The Rosewood finish is absolutely superb, BTW. As for sound, in terms of max SPL it would not be on my short list, but for blending well on music and sounding natural it gets the job done nicely. I also would expect the UFW-12 to do the same, but more-so. WAF will not be an issue with the UFW-12 I am sure... my mom loved the UFW-10 and she hates the look of speakers.
