ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2

I've been a fan of ProAc for many years. After selling my 2.5's and CJ amps a while back due to space constraints, I'm planning to put together a new system.

I heard the Usher Dancer Mini 2's at a local shop recently and was taken aback by the sense of space and depth of the images they produce. Tweeters had a tendency to sound steely on some recordings and mid-bass was a bit lumpy but otherwise I was impressed.

Unfortunately we don't have any ProAc dealers nearby, and I haven't heard any of the newer D lineup. I'd love to compare the D28 or D38 with the Ushers side by side.

Does anyone have any experience with these two speakers and how would you compare the two?

Thanks..

If I do decide to go with the ProAc's I'm thinking about buying them from a UK dealer and have them shipped to the US. We don't have a local ProAc dealers, and I think I could save a significant chunk of change even after paying a ton for shipping.

I believe the warranty is still good, but I have to go through the UK dealer or ProAc directly to get repairs done. This seems like a minor issue since I don't have a local dealer anyways.

Has anyone here gone this route and what are some of the pros and cons?

Thanks in advance!

I have heard both proac and usher and felt that the Usher beat the Proac in every way. I bought the last pair of mini-dancer 2 BE in the country.
