Sub and Ceiling speaker question

in Speakers
I'm remodeling my 30' by 15' living room and am going to update my 5.1 system. I plan to re-use my Monitor 10B's and CS400 up front but want to use in-ceiling speakers and get a new sub. This will also be 2 zone system, the second zone being 2 additional ceiling speakers over a bar.
I am looking at the Yamaha Aventage series, was looking at a RX-V665 or similar. My RX-V995 has served me well for many years, so I want to stick with Yamaha.
For the ceiling speakers, I was thinking of getting something in the $500-600 range for all 4 ceiling speakers, they would be used for HT 80% of the time, and the other 20% for music. I will use my Monitor 10's mostly for music. I was looking at the RC80i's, any feedback on those? I noticed someone selling 700 & 500 LS's here in that range, would they be a significant upgrade over the RC series?
For a sub, I need wireless capability. The DSW440wi seems to fit the bill. My current sub is a PSW200 and I have been happy with is, however it has no remote power control and I'd have to add wireless, on top of it being old. Any feedback on that sub?
Thanks for any constructive help!

Just saw this,
I own a the RC80i's and they are nice for the money. being a Polk fan for so long, it's not a bad choice at all to stick with them. Polk makes rock solid In wall and In ceiling speakers. I have them all over my house including my Garage.
The Polk subs are ok and for the money they have always been very nice. I can't see you going wrong in both situations.
