Well I did some test placements and the places I could mount them were too close to corners or deemed "too ugly" by my SO. In the end I bought a pair of Sanus Hover stands that I will move into position for movies, but leave next to the TV when they're not in use. Wall mount will have to wait until we remodel at which point I will have a lot more wall to work with. If anyone else is looking to use the Omni's you will have to fashion an adapter before they'll work.

If the 606 has enough power for you, then I would give it the nod. There was a batch of 805/875s that shipped with below spec capacitors which failed when they hit the top of their operating range temprature. It effected both models from all three plants. All are being fixed under warranty, but that doesn't entierly make up for the trauma of seeing the caps self destruct. If you go 805, this is one of the few times I'd actually suggest a refurb over new. Of course you can't go wrong by waiting for all of the x06's to be released.

I've got the same issue as the OP, hence I have no choice but to use ceiling mounts. They don't really have a standard keyhole. The mount on the bottom has an M-5 hole, not the 1/4 20 most mounts are designed for. I'm probably going to end up tapping the M-5 hole out to 1/4 20 and add a shaped bushing so the lock nut actually does it's job.
