Center to go with RT1000i's?

I found a great deal on a pair of Monitor 50's to use as surrounds and am now looking for a center speaker. I haven't been able to come across a CS400i locally, which is what I would prefer so that the fronts are timbre matched. I'm not worried about the surrounds matching. I don't have a lot to spend as I'm on a super tight budget. I'm looking at the CS1 and CS2 on Newegg. Would either of these 2 come anywhere close to matching with the RT1000i's? Anything else I should be looking at? Thanks!

    Also another one in the Dallas TX. area for $150 and it looks like he is willing to ship.

    Thanks. I'll shoot him an email. Worst that can happen is that he says "no".

    Very true, also that one in the Dallas area is way closer to you than the first one I posted, so he may be more willing to ship. Good luck.

    CS350-LS, CS400i, CS400, CS245, CS245i are all timbre matched.

    Btw, I posted a CS400 ad I found in CL. Looked to be in excellent shape and only $100 bucks. It's in the audio deals of the day page right before/after the dallas ad for $150.
