Towers with built in subs vs separate subs


I debating on upgrading my paradigm founders 100f speakers to 120H speakers as they have built in subs and my space is limited. I would love to incorporateca a rel s510 but im concerned that i may not get my moneys worth out of it because placement is very limited.  I own rel ht1205 which i am very happy with for movies but i want something better for music. Plan is to remote my 1205 to the back of the room for movies and either trade up for the 120H paradigm with built in subs or add a s510 to my current paradigm 100 f's. 

Any thoughts?

Don't those founder series also have the room correction built in?

if its the same ones i was listening to a couple weeks ago they are very good, I liked them better than the Focal Sopra 2's I also listened to.

The room correction system integrates the bass much better than any sub alone will. It only works on the bass section but after we took the measurements and let the software do its thing it smoothed out the bass response significantly in the smallish listening room at the dealer. made me stand up and consider them more seriously.
