B&W 702s or Revel F208s

I can have either one for the same price. Which ones should I get? Any alternatives for $5K floorstandes tops? Same sound character. Thanks

The Aria 936 can't match the Revel lower bass response, doesn't have as well damped cabinet, and presents a bit a load on a partnering amp. The Revel IMHO, is step up from this Focal model.
