I would say probably yes, I had a Storm and Storm III at the same time. I've since sold the Storm (didn't need an extra sub). The Storm is a great sub for the money they go for used, but the Storm III is somewhat better. If you're using it for home theater and music, the Storm III permits dual connection (hi and low) so you can have LFE separate from music. I think integration is also a little more flexible on the III.
