Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen

I have a friend that is a Wilson Audio fan and I have always liked them he is using the watt puppy 7, they just have a great punch and are very clear, also there center is awesome looking. My current speakers are just boring lumps so something that stands out would be nice. I use my speakers 80% for HT these days. I have a chance to get some at a great deal anyhow I am not sure where to start. I have Vandersteen 5a but what is the Wilson Audio model compared to the 5a's. Also I know what I hear but what are other people’s opinion between the two? Thank you in advance for any input.

Vandersteen 5a speakers are just boring lumps? Why, because they are among the rare and few designs that are time and phase coherent, with a completely flat bass response down to 20 Hz?

Wilson has snob appeal that Vandersteen doesn't. Why, because it has fancy paint jobs and cheap, out-of-phase-by-design drivers?

I can't believe the stuff I read anymore.
