Sonus Faber Concerto vs Grand Piano Home

I recently purchased a pair Concerto bookshelves but I can get a pair of Grand Piano Home for about an even swap. I usually like listening to a warm speaker and like the sound but I won't be using a sub. From what I read that the home series isn't as laid back which is fine if it isn't a big change. One big plus if I do switch would be the bass and not having to use/get speaker stands.

Has anyone compared the two?
Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    Had concerto and concertino a while back. I don't recall how they sounded compared to gp. I felt like the Concerto were definitely detailed and maybe just a little bass shy or bass flat. That was relative to the Polk Lsi9.

    The bass is definitely lacking and my preamp only has one preout so it's hard to add a sub. I decided today to keep the Concertos and pass on the GPs for now.
