SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE

Any opinions on these 2?  They are about the same price in the used market now.
I've got plenty of power (350W) to drive either.  They would go into a 13x15 room that sucks (open on 1 side wall).  Right now I have WIlson Duettes.  My understanding is the Elipsa's are good in almost all rooms and easy to setup.  I don't know about the Serafinos.
I listen primarily to vocalists, jazz and soft rock (James Taylor, Eagles, etc.)

Thanks.

@ps   Let's put it this way, IF you can find a superior sounding speaker to the GH's at the price of $5995- I would jump on that. I don't think that is likely ( maybe even possible). As such, if the GH's you have found are in decent working order and in fair shape, I would grab them. Now, i am a little biased, as I own these speakers, BUT my first point stands.

@ps The GH’s are not that common on the used market. I believe that whenever they do show up, they usually sell quickly, ( and for very good reason, IMHO). Compared to your Cremona Auditor M’s, I believe you would get a large uptick in SQ...which is saying a lot. The GH’s were IMO one of the crowning glories of Franco Serblin...and I believe superior to the G’s that have followed. Getting a pair in perfect condition is an opportunity indeed~
