REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening


I have Zu Omen Defs connected to a NuForce STA200 (class a/b) amp. REL has suggested a T9/i https://rel.net/shop/subwoofers/serie-ti/t9i/

SVS has a cheaper SB-2000 which seems to be closer for half the price https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-2000

I've read numerous places that REL is way overpriced and SVS is great for music. I am aware of Zu's subs...would like to keep the price under a grand if possible. 


Opinions?

I got the SVS hooked in and I really love it. I'm still going to do some fine tuning position wise. I have it 95% there but ran out of time yesterday. BTW, the SVS RCA cables seem to be well built and really nice (i purchased seperate)
I believe I have them dialed in about the best a single sub can do for my space. I am going to purchase a second in january/ I have it to where sound seems to lean to 53% left and 47% right (placed behind left speaker.). I set up with mono sources. Really, I could live with it. I would say a general listener would not notice.

I'm amazed how the sub really adds a presence to listening. For my taste, the bass should sound cozy and warm. The sub adds that along with some punch. You can really feel Neil Pearts bass drum and the moog bass pedal on Moving Pictures by RUSH. The heartbeat on Dark Side of the moon has a little tiny bit of stomp to it (which i like). For now I have it dialed in. I may do some more changing later on...but I really like the results thus far 
I added an REL S5 about a year ago to my Tidal Contriva Diacera SE speakers and that really improved the room bass but then I recently added an REL 212 SE ....and kept the S5 for the lt side of the room and now the whole presentation is magical.i will,at some point,replace the S5 with another 212SE but for now, all is great.one of the REL VPs came over to help with the room positioning which save me a great deal of trial and error.
I have an older REL R 305 and its a nice sub.  I auditioned new speakers recently and paired it with an SVS and it was no slouch
