Yes! One of the more significant changes from 40.1 to 40.2 had to do with the bass, which made the 40.2 a lot more room-friendly in terms of positioning vis-a-vis the 40.1. That being said, yours is a decent-sized room and if you have some leeway to experiment with positioning within it, I'd definitely consider the 40.1. Do the Spatials threaten to overload the room now? If not, then that's another indicator that the 40.1 should work OK.
I've posted this link before of the 40.2's in a much smaller room.https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/harbeth-monitor-40-2.25222/
I presume you're considering 40.1's for, err, economic reasons.
