FXi3 vs. FXi5

I'm looking to pick up a pair of surround speakers and was set to buy some new FXi3s, when my local Sound Advice store offered some floor models of the FXi5s for another $20. They checked their system and said that there were no more new FXi5s to be had (I was getting some of the last new FXi3s), so I'm wondering, is there any reason why I should be reluctant to buy floor models and how much of a difference is there between the FXi3 and the FXi5? The room they're going in won't be that big, so it's not like I need anything very powerful.

    no reason not to buy floor models.. see though if they will give you the same warranty that Polk offers... just in case there is something wrong with them. and that might be a pretty good price too..

    although, if you get the FXi3's.. for a small room they are good.

    Can't go wrong with either one. I ended up with the FXi3's just because they are a little smaller in teh back of the room and I couldn't really tell a difference listening to each pair.
