S30 or S35 to pair with S55

I have a pair of S55s, two S10s as surrounds and a S35 for the center. Is the S35 the recommended center to pair with those or would an S30 center match better? What have other done? Anyone tested the two?

    I just picked up an S35 to compare to an older Polk CSi30 center; not the exact same speaker as the S30, but very close in specs. While I have not done a complete set of trials (hopefully this week?), my initial impression is that the S35 is more than capable of keeping up with the demands placed on it. Smaller drivers yes, but also 3x as many of them.
    Since you already have an S35 in place, I think you're set.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I have the 35 set as small xover at 80 with a pair of 60s. Seems to do the trick, I am very pleased.
