REL T7x or T5x for Small Room

I am looking to add subwoofers to my system.  My listening room is approximately 10' X 10' and I have a pair of Harbeth P3ESR XD's.  The room has wall to wall carpeting with padding.

The T7 is really overkill for the room, but has a front firing driver and passive below.  The T5 is a better fit for the room but only has a bottom firing driver.  I am concerned that I may lose some potential imaging with a bottom firing sub.

Are my concerns valid?

I just ordered 2 T5x units.  If ordered through REL you have 60 days to evaluate.  I have a feeling that I will be going with 2.

Thanks to everyone for your recommendations.  I went with a pair of the T5x's and I am very pleased with the results.  They add substance to the recordings.  I am working on getting them set properly and just received "Sneakers".
