So what's the better deal (honestly)?

Modern Wilsons have more bass, warmer sounding.

Magicos have very wide very smooth dispersion. Need more room to the sides. For some reason to my ears in multiple demos they also have a bump in the presence range. Best for wide listening area. Sometimes sound rather cool, but not harsh.

But if you asked me what speaker has a better chance of sounding great in a wide variety of rooms, you'd have to look to the top of the Vandersteens. :)

I'm keeping my Aerial 10 since 90s Thanks.

I would buy the outriggers for the Magicos and put them on a set of Wilsons. But only after a high end paint job...

I would go with a super expensive paint job on the outriggers...

I'll paint the Wilson's  for $7600 plus travel expenses. I'll provide the brush and Benjamin  Moore.
