I don't think you'd go wrong either way.  The KEFs are going to image better, produce a larger soundstage, will play as loud as your ears can handle without distortion, and will be a little "warmer" (which for me equates to easier to listen to) wh... 
How many dealers do you use?
I almost never buy gear "retail", but when I do it's usually either Echo Audio or Gig Harbor Audio.  Echo in particular has been really good to me, more than once they've helped me avoid a system mismatch or a sideways move from the gear I already...

Brian May - Back to the Light, Qobuz Hi-Res.  This sounds really dated, which makes sense since it was released in 1993.  It sounds more like 1980.  As much as I love Queen and Brian May's amazing guitar playing, I couldn't really get into this.
