DSW Pro 400 vs DSW Micro Pro 2000

So I want to upgrade my old Yamaha PSW sub to better round out the lows of my setup and I'm curious which sub is a better bang for my buck. I know that the Micro Pro is a "better" sub but is it worth the extra cash for my setup?

Right now a Pro 400 can be had through Polk Direct for about $245 and the Micro Pro 2000 at NewEgg for $399.

My setup is in a 14x20 room with TSI 200's in the front, CS20 for a center, and TSI 100's for rears.

The wife doesn't want to overtake the room with towers visually so I'm trying to get the fullest, tightest sound possible with a small footprint sub using the bookshelf speakers placed in bookshelves in the front.

My listening is a bout 80% HT 20% Music

Any and all advice is appreciated!

If your looking for more of a HT application I would go with the 400. or look into the PSW 505 from newegg. The Micro2K is a good sub, however it lacks the HT style. Its not one that is going to knock your socks off watching a movie but will be more of a sub to blend in when your listening to music. I used to have a Mirco 1K and found I loved it for music, but it lacked what I needed for HT and moved to a 12" DIY ported sub a friend of mine made and that was what I was looking for. Gave me a great amount of grunt however the floor space was a lot larger.

I have heard and read many great things about the 505 but unfortunately the size is just too big for my current space and setup. Will the Pro 400 give me more "boom" than the Micro2K since it has the open port?

I'm not the college student looking to see if he can rattle every window in the building with earth shattering insane lows, but I do want a nice solid bass that will thump and fill in the lows that I'm missing by using the TSI200's. I'm more concerned about having a full, articulate sounding HT that will still let you know its got some nuts when the explosions are happening.

My pro 400 added a nice deep boom over my Boston sub, I can feel the vibrations for sure, but it doesn't rattle my windows. Getting the 2nd sub really helped to even out my bass.
