Revel 226be vs. 228be

I was recently offered a pair of Revel 228Be for a pretty good price.  The speakers are new and will ship from a dealer. So needless to say, I am seriously considering it.

Has anyone compared the 228Bes to the 226Bes?  If so, what did you think? The physical size of the 226s are much easier to blend into the room, and I'm a bit worried that the 228s may just look out of place in my home.  That being said, if the 228s are a much better speaker then I'll be happy and never look back.  

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

I love my f226be speakers.  I have not heard the f228s, however.

I have only heard the 328be but they have very seamless integration between the mids/highs and bass. I can’t think of a better integrated box speaker off the top of my head. 
The 228be is probably bordering on super speaker performance at a good price. I 328be is there best speaker I have heard under $20k. Almost no flaw, the 228be should be great. I might buy a pair myself but I plan to run subs as I do with all speakers.

Go big or go home. If you can't run with the big dogs, then get off the track. 😉

I'll agree with James633 - They are really well integrated.

sounds like the hive has spoken...I can't really go wrong with either speaker, and I can't turn down the deal on the 228s...so 228s it is.
