ML speakers are incredibly placement sensitive. Any side by side comparison is likely to be highly flawed. When you find the magic place for your ML's the sound stage gets wide and deep and female vocalists/piano will blow you away. In a room your size, a center speaker will probably not be needed as proper placement of the ML's will give you one sweetspot but an "almost" sweetspot six feet wide.
ML's are power hungry and dip to 2ohms. Something to consider.
But I love my Aerius in a room bigger than yours. Aeons are plenty and be prepared to move them an inch here or and inch there to get it right. Add a Descent sub and invite me over.....:-)
