Two small RELs or One Larger Sub

What would you do? 

Dedicated music/listening room -- 16 x 25, with 10 foot ceilings, no openings to other areas.
PSB Imagine T2s
Powered by Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium
Strictly 2 channel system.  

I'm looking to add air, space, realism.  Ultimate bottom end is not as important as all the other stuff a good musical sub does for full spectrum floor standers. 

I saw that Upscale had the REL S/2 on sale for $1k ea.  I was thinking it might be prudent to go with 2 of these as opposed to going with one REL S/3 or S5. 

Thoughts?

I have done and read some on the subject manner.
The following link was the information I found to most helpful in obtaining a well balance, flat frequency that closely matched the SPL of the main speakers and minimized frequency cancellations and bloom.

The sound is omni directional and it sounds as though it is being broadcasted from the main speakers and correctly positioned in the overall sound stage 

This may be helpful to you

Your welcome; It made a lot of sense to me. May be there's an audio store local to you, where you can compare one versus two

Good advice from this panel - jbhiller.REL is a fantastic sub and you could start with (1) then determine if another is required. Keep us posted on this situation.Happy Listening!
