RTi70 or RT800

Hello to everyone, I am new to this forum due to getting the BUG by making some recent Polk purchases. I currently have connected 2-PSW10 subs, 2-Monitor 60 Towers, 2-RT600 Towers and 2-R10 Bookshelf to a Sony STR-DE845. I have bought but not picked up a PSW12 sub, 2-RT400 Towers, a cs101 center channel, 2-M1 satelites, a PSB century 100ci Center Channel and 2 PSB Alpha A/V Bookshelf. I have come across some RT800 for $79 and RTi70 for $85. I do plan on using thePSW 505 with the RT600s for rears. I think that I can eliminate the RT400s and the Monitor 60s based on what I have read so far, I was wondering which speakers would be better matched as fronts between the Rti70 and RT800. Lastly what Polk Center Channel would be the best match? The living room is about about 14.5' X11.5' and most of my listening would be mostly music with an occasional movie watching. I am then looking to put together my bedroom system with the remaining pieces. Here I do more TV/music with the occasional movie. Would appreciate any suggestion there? I will probably sell the remaining pieces.
Thanks,

Not sure I followed your email on what you already own, but if you already have them, the RT600's can be used as fronts and the RT400's as rears will work also. If you have it already, use the CS101 as a center channel with them until you can find a CS400, CS350, CS275, etc.
You can try that setup with the PSW505 and see how you like it. You would just need the matching center channel in order to be timbre matched across the front. But if most of your listening is music, and you do it two-channel, the center is less important anyway.

Thank you for your response. Yes, that is a lot of speakers but I should say that the there is a huge opening with barely an archway dividing the living room and the dining room which is then completely open to my kitchen.
Thank you for your response. I was thinking to get both the RT800 and the RTi70 because they are a closer match if I am not mistaken. The only issue is whether I want to do the extra 4 hour drive for the RTi70.

Thanks for your response F1nut. So these are Monitor 10. I asked because I have seen some go by other numeration like 10b etc.
