The 5.1's are 48" tall compared with 42" for the 5.2's.
I've listened (many moons ago now) to the 6.2's, 5.2's and 4.2's. I was mainly listening to the 6.2's. I ended up purchasing the 6.1's...no regrets. I don't believe I'd be disappointed with the 6.2's from an audio perspective if they were in my living room right now instead of the 6.1's.
I prefer the aesthetics of the .1 series. Also, for me, I didn't want the binding posts on the undeside of the speaker. Ultimately, this was the deal breaker for me. YMMV
If YOU prefer the look of the 5.2's and the WAF favors the 5.2's, $300 for never having to think "what if" is a small price to pay IMHO. Also keep the peace!
