+1 tablejockey on the house sounds (like him I don't know the specific models).
Critics may accuse Focal of boom-tizz, and accuse SF of being insufficiently resolved or even unexciting.
My taste runs to the musicality-warmth camp, not the detail-resolution camp, so I've enjoyed the SF I've heard (I came close to buying), and found Focal a little fatiguing.
If your tastes are clearly in one camp or the other, that might well predict a preference.
