Maggie LRS vs .7

I just did some searching here but surprisingly didn't find much on this topic. Maybe I'm not asking the right way?   Anybody have direct experience comparing these two?  I ask because there is a local used pair of .7 that I am watching.  I currently have the LRS being driven by Hegel h360 integrated.

Thanks

Plus one for the .7 with a Rel S812 sub, soundstage and detail to dye for.

I had a pretty easy time with placement or my LRS and LRS+ but could never quite get it right for the Maggie Mini's ...

Bigger is better.

The first high end system that blew me away was fronted by Magnepan speakers, MMG's maybe, with a Hafler amp and preamp.  I have considered them many times, but I have a long narrow room with the speakers on the long way and only have about 3' of space behind the speakers.  Is that a deal breaker?

I had both. Started with the LRS and then moved to the .7s. I thought they were similar but .7s go a bit lower.  I had a bigger space they were in so the .7s were more appropriate. Ultimately, I went open baffle to get the transparency of the Maggies plus dynamics that the Maggies lacked. 

As to the OP, I think the decision to upgrade depends a lot on the size of your listening space.
