Is this swap worth doing?

Long time viewer/reader, however this is my first post.

I currently have:
RTi8s for fronts
CSi3 center
RC60i rear surrounds

I am considering replacing the rears with TC60i or TC80i since they are timber matched with the fronts. Is this a worth while switch or should I leave it as it is. I will be upgrading my receiver to an Onkyo 706 if that makes a difference.

Thanks

    That would be a very worthwhile swap, since, as you said, they're timbre matched to the fronts. That's an important aspect in a HT setup.

    I say go for it.

    Thanks for the welcome. I really enjoy this forum.

    Which should I get the TC60i or TC80i (a tad more costly)?

    What is the difference between the TC60i and the TC620i?

    Frequency response, power handling, and most importantly you drop from the same 1" tweeter that's in your RTi fronts to a less expensive 3/4" tweeter.
