Thanks for both of your comments, they were each exactly what I had been thinking. I have chosen to go with the 440C mostly due to both room size and asthetics.
BTW, I've always been a little curious as to the lack of ink on the RVX54, I traded up/down from a pair of Forte's and have never regreted the decision. Although they do look like they may have been reserected to some degree in the form of the RP440.
Thanks Happy Holidays to all.
