Von Schweikert VR2 or Soliloquy 6.3 ?

Does anyone have an opinion about either of the above speakers ?
I have a chance to buy them for about the same price - the Soliloquy 6.3's are being phased out for a updated line in Jan 04. I've heard the Soliloquy 5.3 and didn't think they were my cup of tea -the fit and finish of the 5.3 was incredible but I'm more concerned with the sound.
I've owned the Vr4 Gen III previously and loved them - I believe Mr Von Schweikert knows how to design speakers as good as anyone. I'm using a Jolida Hybrid 100 watt integrated amp. I listen to Classic Rock, Jazz, and whatever else hits me at the moment.
Any thoughts or comments from those who own or have heard either speaker will be appreciated.
Thank You

Thanks for the responses
I ended up ordering a new pair of the VR2's in African Hazlewood.
Looking forward to getting them.
Thanks

Sedona, did you see African Hazelwood at a dealer? I mention it only because I ordered VR4 SE's in African Hazelwood based on the color on their web page, and the actual color is much blonder. Very nice, with lots of grain, but blonder nonetheless. You might check the color in person if you haven't just to be sure it's what you want.

I have the VR-1's in Hazelwood and they are slightly darker than my natural polyurethaned Red Oak hardwood floors but are so close, they blend right in.
