Which REL sub, R528 or B2

I'm planning to buy a REL subwoofer. It will be used in audio system mainly, but also in HT from time to time. I listen to jazz, vocals, occasionally rock. It will support Dynaudio C1. I'm considering the new R528 or B2 ( can get them at roughly the same price).
The new 528 looks better but is it as good as B2?

I just purchased a REL R-528SE and it's an amazing sub, butter smooth, fast, and very easy to integrate. I have it matched up with JDRC electronics and Duevel Bella-Luna Diamanté omnis. I've owned a lot of subs, and most were sonically difficult. This SE model seems to rise above the pack, the CF driver is stiff and fast. I also like that they are compatible with the high level outputs of balanced, differential and switching amps.

My understanding is the SE model uses the carbon-fiber drivers and power amplifier from their flagship line... but puts them in the smaller footprint package of the "R" series. They also added additional cabinet bracing.
