I guess if you feel you will never need the omni's, then yea, you can get off and save 200$. However, if you think you might need the omni's at some point, I would go ahead and get them from the sound-room. I however, as may be your case, didn't have the extra cash for the sound-room. My MC012's sound really gr8 to me, and they were only hand matched. As I do not have a pair from sound-room to compare, I can only tell you how mine are. Good luck, and I think you will be please either route you choose.
